come back to life presents J. Rieger & Co. Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon at 6 years of age bottled at 50% ABV, bottled-in-bond, mash bill: 56% corn, 30% — a bourbon that merits close attention.

Palate

Fruity candy, most reminiscent of Runts, right up front. Some warmth along with it. A light touch of coffee with sweet cream grounds the flavors mid-palate. The finish is fairly quick, and mainly a winding-down of the other flavors.

Finish

I didnt find this whiskey very complex or terribly unique, but I do think it tastes good. The fruity notes led to some fun flavors without being overly sweet or aggressively one-note. Considering that this is their second bottled-in-bond release since their re-opening nine years ago, I think its a tremendous success and a sign of a truly great distillery come back to life.

Verdict

J. Rieger & Co. Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon represents solid craftsmanship. While it may not redefine expectations, it offers genuine quality and reliable drinking pleasure.
