Maker Notes

When we began our wood experiments, one forest stood out from the rest. Jupilles became a French royal forest in the 14th century and then a national forest in 1791. This small but ancient forest is known for its tight-grain oak. Fine wine makers in France and around the world have been curating Jupilles oak for centuries. Our master alchemists worked to create a custom toast profile to match our high-rye bourbon profile. The combination is exquisite, approachable and drinkable.

We take high rye bourbon that is at least 6 years old and add custom toasted French Oak Staves for the last few months of aging to impart natural wood flavors of soft, sweet warm notes that play off of the underlying spice of the base bourbon. The layers of complexity on the nose are sure to arouse your palate and please a crowd of bourbon enthusiasts.

On the palate, prepare for a delightful experience as sweet raspberry flavors take center stage, complemented by the savory notes of toasted oak. As the taste lingers, you’ll discover subtle hints of tres leche, evoking thoughts of a creamy and indulgent dessert, accentuated by a touch of cinnamon spice.

As the experience comes to its conclusion, you’ll appreciate the creamy mouthfeel that emerges. The flavors evolve, revealing a complex array of sensations, ranging from sweet toffee to velvety vanilla cream. A subtle hint of cold smoke adds an intriguing layer to this enticing finale.

This deeply sweet and nutty small-batch release is the first Glenmorangie ever to be finished in rare Palo Cortado sherry casks. Aged for 12 years, it brings a new elegance to the Highland Distillery’s delicate style.

The single malt spent its first eight years mellowing in American white oak bourbon casks. Then, delighted by that whisky’s smooth, soft character, Dr Bill was inspired to finish a select batch in Palo Cortado casks, never before used at Glenmorangie.

Palo Cortado is the rarest variety of sherry, created purely by chance, when the protective ‘flor’ yeast does not form on sherry intended to become Amontillado.

Enchanted by Palo Cortado’s sweet and nutty flavours, Dr Bill sourced a handful of its casks, which are incredibly hard to come by. He filled them with the whisky, imagining the unparalleled depth and complexity they might bring Glenmorangie. Finished in these deliciously wonderful casks, Dr Bill’s creation developed all the rich elegance he had dreamed of.

Uniquely complex and nutty, it layers dark plum depths with milk-chocolate richness, Brazil nuts and sweet spice.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Burnt Amber

NOSE: Rich, elegant and rounded. Toffee, fudge and vanilla sweetness entwine with mossy notes and mulled wine hints. Then come scents of honeyed ginger and milk-chocolate truffle dusted with cinnamon. A splash of water reveals notes of orange sherbet, carnations and Brazil nuts.

TASTE: An oily yet peppery texture leads to a burst of rich, sweet flavours. Treacle toffee and milk chocolate are threaded with notes of clove, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Meanwhile, fruity undertones of raisins, dark plums and bitter orange find delectable balance with baking ryebread and salted nuts.

FINISH: Long and nutty, brimming with spice, leather and a touch of aniseed.

A great tequila portfolio starts with a great silver. Crisp and clear, Milagro Silver is distilled from 100% estate-grown blue agave and renowned for its smoothness, mixability, and agave-forward taste.

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.

Organic reposado tequila that delivers all flavor, no burn. Enjoy this graceful balance of ripe agave, wood spices and a mellow texture. Made by Greenbar Distillery, this is tequila with character.

IX Reposado tequila tastes of jammy agave up front balanced by wood, spices & caramel on the finish. Combine with delicate liqueurs, sparkling wine, or enjoy neat.
