Detailed Description
Rieger’s Monogram Whiskey is one of those many pre-Prohibition whiskey labels which had a good run in its day before dying off due to the onset of tight government controls on liquor. The Rieger’s Monogram Whiskey (2017 Oloroso Bota) is a 1,000 bottle run Rieger and team see as the first in a series of annual expressions which will rotate through different styles of whiskey, finishing techniques, type of barrels, proof, age, and other factors. For this year they’ve crafted a blended whiskey from sourced product that’s finished in century old Oloroso Sherry botas.
The Rieger’s Monogram 2017 Oloroso Bota Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: A dark, sweet aroma and notes of figs, dates, chocolate, black cherries, muted spices, and a slight nuttiness.
Palate: The taste is thick, well-balanced, and complex with baked peaches, figs, a hint of toffee, cinnamon and clove spices, and touches of cocoa and honey.
Finish: The finish is very long, smooth, and well-balanced with spicy notes that fade gently while almond, toffee, and fig notes add balance and complexity.
