Rieger Kansas City Whiskey

Rieger Kansas City Whiskey, recently named “Best American Whiskey” at the ASCOT Awards and a gold medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, is a blend of straight bourbon whiskey, light corn whiskey, and straight rye whiskey, all aged at least four years, as well as a small amount of 15-year-old oloroso sherry from the Williams & Humbert Bodega in Jerez, Spain. Kansas City Whiskey is well-balanced, smooth, and slightly sweet.

On the nose the first thing to hit is the sherry. Rich, sweet, caramel, butterscotch aromas are followed by a corn whiskey backbone. The flavor of sweet corn whiskey is followed up with a touch of sweetness from the sherry featuring dried fruits, almonds, and bitter chocolate. The finish provides a heavy dose of robust spiciness from the rye. At 92 proof the alcohol is able to balance out the slight sweetness from the sherry and make the whiskey very balanced.
