Rieger // Indiana (bottled in Missouri), USA
J. Rieger & Co. is a distillery that was established in 1887. Long since gone, this brand was resurrected in 2010 by Ryan Maybee, partner at the Rieger Hotel Grill & Exchange in Kansas City and Andy Rieger, great-great-great grandson of Jacob Rieger, the original founder.
This is made from a blend of whiskeys: straight bourbon, light corn, and straight rye whiskey. To this, a small amount of 15 year-old oloroso sherry is added not exceeding 2.5% of the volume. This addition was a common occurrence in American whiskey in the 1800s, but had fallen out of favor after Prohibition.

Tasting Notes
"Char smoke, lots of barrel spices, and vanilla maple syrup are the major chords on the nose, but sweet red fruit and a hint of dried grass are playing the minor notes. Initially sweet on the tongue, your senses are soon flooded with spice. The whiskey is a bit lean on the mid-palate, but the finish is pleasant with bitter and sweet notes in harmony with just a splash of red fruit added for good measure. "
