J. Rieger & Co Private Stock Straight Bourbon Whiskey #4383 147.8 proof - Selected by Seelbach's

Age: 5yrs 10mo

Proof: 147.8

Mash bill: 56% corn, 30% rye, 14% malted barley

Bottle Count: 150 bottles

Tasting Notes:  Viscous. So dense and woody, yet sweet on the nose, giving the impression of a much more mature whiskey. There’s still plenty of honey-baked ham, smoked leather, black cherry, and hot fudge sundae continuing throughout.

The palate starts old and oaky but also has this torched citrus and licorice-spiced dark chocolate kiss before moving into heavy blackberry cobbler and rich espresso.

Ultimately, everything leads back to this smoky leather and deep, dark fruit, with a long, gripping finish of dark chocolate and seasoned oak.
