ROCKET TOP

SINGLE SEASON, SINGLE DISTILLERY

This rare whiskey was bottled under the strict tenents of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Aged in the temperate climate of the Northern California coast, the original distillate was altered only by the addition of pure water from the Russian River Valley aquifer.

HUMBOLDT REDWOODS STATE PARK
The Redwood Empire stretches from San Francisco to Humboldt Bay and on to the Oregon border. The region is home to majestic coastal redwoods, some more than 2,000 years old. The Patriarch Forest in Humboldt Redwoods State Park is home to Rocket Top, a tree reminiscent of a 365-foot-tall bottle rocket. This rye is as complex and extraordinary as the tree it represents.

Decadently rich, The Reid Single Malt Vodka is the best vodka you will ever taste. It was awarded Gold at the World’s Best 50 International Awards in New York. On the nose, The Reid is delicately nuanced with pear drops, lemon, toffee and malt biscuits. On the tongue, the Reid is weighted and balanced. Exquisite neat, with water, or mixed into a crafted cocktail. 

The Cardrona Single Malt Whisky “Just Hatched” is a special natural cask strength bottling marking the momentous occasion of reaching three years old. A marriage of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, this “Just Hatched” Whisky reveals Cardrona’s underlying character of borage flower honey, vanilla, spice, with weighted spirit on the tongue – an indication of the adult whisky to come.

Tasting Notes
The 2021 Cherry Pie Tri-County Pinot Noir is concentrated with aromas of macerated cherries, cranberries and dark oolong tea. On the palate, this wine has brambly notes of mulberries, ripe Bing cherries with notes of baking spices and sweet toasty oak with a long, silky smooth finish.

The Vineyard
Combining three counties, each in its own AVA, Cherry Pie Pinot Noir showcases the best of each county’s unique flavor profile. The Napa County grapes are sourced from Carneros which is the coolest of the three climates and provides bright earthy red fruit to the blend. San Luis Obispo’s climate generated by the proximity to the Pacific Ocean is vital for the freshness and vibrancy of this wine. The vineyards are located just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean, with a very long, cool growing season. The Santa Barbara County grapes benefit from sandy soils, bright sunshine and cool ocean breezes which combine to lengthen fruit ripening and extend hang time, resulting in intense aromatics and bright acidity.

A symphony of woody flavors and smoky notes. B&D’s emblematic Cognac.

KAH Tequila is produced by Fabrica de Tequilas Finos, located in the town of Tequila in Jalisco, Mexico at the foot of Tequila hill. The area is officially a heritage of humanity site, as declared by UNESCO. Most of the people working at Finos have worked there since its establishment in 2000, and that includes KAH Tequila Master Distiller Arturo Fuentes, who has been dedicated to the production of alcoholic beverages for forty-five years. More than a decade ago he was part of the team that created KAH.

The craft of KAH tequila-making starts with the agave plant. Tequila can only be distilled from a specific variety of agave plant—blue Weber agave (a.k.a. agave azul or agave tequilana). It takes at least 6 to 7 years for an agave plant to grow to maturity before it can be harvested.

Only the “heart” of the plant (piña) that accumulates sugars is used for tequila production.

Each step of the tequila making process—from preparation of the agave, aging in oak barrels, to filling into exceptional tailor-made bottles—is done in the traditional way, with a lot of passion and craftsmanship.

Mythology Needle Pig Gin is a dry modern gin distilled with six natural botanicals that include Italian juniper, coriander seed, orris root, grapefruit peel, star anise and sage. Sage spice and sweet pine on the nose complimented by resinous citrus from the juniper and ripe grapefruit. On the palate sweet jam up front, followed by grapefruit citrus, licorice and pine. As the spirit transforms, there is nice anise spice on the mid palate with subtle floral notes. Lasting citrus and sage on the finish.

In the Wild Backcountry
A Trapper glided quietly through a field of juniper until he crossed paths with a Needle Pig. They both froze. The Trapper’s hand moved slowly to his spear when a mighty roar exploded from the forest. He grabbed his spear. The Needle Pig spread its quills & they both turned to face a charging grizzly bear. At the prospect of facing such a ferocious defense, the bear turned and fled.

Inspired by the spirit of Needle Pig, we hand a botanical gin that’s not afraid to stand on its own.

RIEGER'S BOTTLED IN BOND STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY

Since resurrecting our pre-Prohibition distillery in 2014, J. Rieger & Co. has been committed to distilling whiskeys using the time-honored traditions of American Whiskey production. Utilizing the finest rye and barley grains available, this Bottled in Bond Straight Rye Whiskey was distilled, aged and bottled in our Kansas City distillery. This 6 year old Rye delivers complex aromas of cocoa and baking spice followed by rich flavors of stone fruit and toasted vanilla.

ABOUT RIEGER'S RYE
For 95 years, J. Rieger & Co. sat dormant, a casualty of a failed social experiment known as Prohibition. Kansas City didn’t legally distill for nearly a century.
‍In 2014, under the guidance of industry legend, Dave Pickerell, Ryan Maybee and Andy Rieger successfully relaunched the J. Rieger & Co. brand and got the booze flowing in KC once again. From the start we committed to allowing our whiskeys time to properly age. We respect the time-honored tradition of aging whiskey in 53-gallon White American Oak barrels and believe that absolutely nothing can substitute for time spent in a barrel. We elected to release our earliest Rye Whiskey distillates as Bottled in Bond Whiskeys, a uniquely American distinction of quality, commitment and heritage. More Rye expressions are on the horizon.
‍This product is a tribute to Dave Pickerell, the larger-than-life legendary Master distiller, who was kind enough to bestow upon us his knowledge and passion for creating the finest Whiskeys in America. And also to Kansas City, our hometown since 1887 for supporting us, believing in us and rooting us on.

OUR PROCESS
This whiskey is a pot distilled rye that consists of 96% rye and 4% malted barley.  We really wanted to showcase the rye and that is why we chose to make it a very dominant rye grain bill.  We distilled this rye paying very close attention to the spice that we all know and love from rye whiskeys and made sure that what we put in the barrel had the aggressive spice we had hoped for.  This whiskey was aged for 6 years in new, charred white oak barrels from Independent Stave in Lebanon, Missouri.

TASTING NOTES
Aromas of caramelized orange and fresh baked bread. Flowery notes of orange blossom and cut grass. Flavors of toasted cedar, five spice, salty sunflower seeds & cinnamon. Mid-palate is rich with chocolate-covered cherries, buttered popcorn, and a lingering spicy fruit-jam character. A cherry-cola like quality. A long finish with drier notes of sage, mint, and a little toasted coconut. Extremely balanced and pleasant to revisit with each sip.
