The Rieger's Bottled in Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey was a Merchant's Pick
Trophy Bourbon Whiskey for all Your Winter Needs!
February 05, 2026
Rieger's distillery closed during Prohibition in 1919. It's been over 100 years, and this Bottled In Bond beauty is the first bourbon they've produced since closing their doors.
"Bottled in Bond" means this whiskey is regulated using exacting standards:
- 50% ABV 100 Proof
- Brand New Oak Barrels Aged for 2 years minimum (this release is 6 years)
- 51%+ or higher corn mash bill
DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL

FINALIST BEST IN CLASS BOURBON
"2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition”
For their first release, Riegers knew they needed a whiskey to live up to their slogan -
“O! So Good”
And that's exactly what they did in this release!
Rieger's isn't a "classic car" that sits in the garage (or your shelf) - it's a fun-driving, everyday workhorse.
