J. Rieger's Kansas City Whiskey stands out as an exemplary expression in the world of American whiskey, recently garnering high praise and prestigious awards, including being named “Best American Whiskey” at the 2023 ASCOT Awards. This distinction is further supported by a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and an impressive 92 points from the 2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge. Such accolades speak volumes about its quality and craftsmanship.

A Unique Blend with a Spanish Touch: What sets Kansas City Whiskey apart is its unique blend, combining straight bourbon whiskey, light corn whiskey, straight rye whiskey (all aged for a minimum of four years), and a notable inclusion of 15-year-old oloroso sherry from the renowned Williams & Humbert Bodega in Jerez, Spain. This innovative approach to blending results in a well-balanced, smooth, and slightly sweet whiskey that carries a unique complexity and depth, courtesy of the aged oloroso sherry.

Award-Winning Recognition: The whiskey's quality and uniqueness have not only earned it a coveted place among American whiskeys but have also been recognized by several prestigious bodies in the spirits industry. The ASCOT Awards and San Francisco World Spirits Competition accolades underscore its exceptional craftsmanship and the innovative approach to whiskey blending.
