This sweet mash Bourbon from Kansas City’s J. Rieger & Co. has a touch of caramel candy on the nose along with red apples, tobacco leaf, and molasses. The taste has notes of dried fruits, oak tannins, soft spices, and caramel candy. The finish is long with subtle spices, honey, and a hint of anise. (November, 2024)
