We love the art and science of mixing ingredients to make a delicious cocktail. Rieger’s Kansas City Whiskey does the same balancing act on a larger scale with whiskey. It’s a blend of malt, corn and straight rye whiskeys with a touch of 15-year-old oloroso sherry to lend subtle sweetness and nuttiness. Rieger’s was released in late 2014, marking the resurrection of J. Rieger & Co., a brand founded in the late 18th century that rose to become the largest wholesale mail-order whiskey house in the U.S. The thoughtfully balanced recipe, interesting history and elegant flavor are why we’re drinking this spirit. Try it neat or in a whiskey sour.
