2024 was a milestone year for J. Rieger & Co.! 🥃 We shared our love for spirits at the distillery, teamed up with the @Negro Leagues Baseball Museum for a historic collaboration, and celebrated the release of our long-awaited bourbon—including a rooftop barrel drop! Along the way, we hosted unforgettable events, ending the year with the best NYE party in Kansas City. Here’s to the memories we created and the exciting opportunities 2025 will bring. Cheers to growth, collaboration, and community! 🥂 #KansasCity #CheersTo2025

O! So good! - Founded in 1887, revived in 2014. Proudly distilling in Kansas City’s historic Electric Park neighborhood!
About us
Jacob Rieger & Company was originally founded in 1887 in Kansas City’s West Bottoms Livestock Exchange district. The distillery produced over 100 alcoholic products on a national basis, including the iconic Monogram Whiskey, but it was forced to close in 1919 with the advent of Prohibition. In 2014, 95 years after Prohibition, the brand was relaunched by business partners Ryan Maybee, creator of Manifesto and co-founder of The Rieger, and Andy Rieger, the great-great-great-grandson of Jacob Rieger. The current distillery is located in the historic Electric Park district within the East Bottoms of Kansas City. The core spirit product line includes Kansas City Whiskey, Midwestern Dry Gin, Caffè Amaro, and Premium Wheat Vodka.

This 100% edible replica of our distillery was designed and built by our incredibly talented Chef de Cuisine, Tristan Wagner, in just 10 hours. Using real blueprints from our distillery, a whole case of Necco wafers for the roof, and gelatin for the windows, he created a masterpiece that’s as impressive as it is detailed. This is 1 of 2 houses—Tristan’s other creation is proudly on display at Crestwood. We are beyond grateful for Tristan’s hard work, creativity, and dedication. Cheers to you, Tristan, for bringing this holiday vision to life! 👏

Big ideas often start with small, bold moves. For us, it was the realization that adding just 2% sherry wine to whiskey could change the game. After searching far and wide for the perfect match, we found it—and Rieger Kansas City Whiskey was born. 🥃 That small detail became our signature, setting us apart and redefining what whiskey could be. Here’s to the little things that make the biggest difference. Cheers to whiskey done right!

One of my favorite events of 2024! Just Women's Sports and GDX Studios were fantastic to work with and we loved showing the distillery off to some of the biggest names in women's sports.
It was another NWSL Championship Weekend for the books — and Just Women’s Sports showed up in a major way. From a live taping of Fast Friends with Kelley O’Hara and Lisa Leslie (plus guests) to our third annual NWSL Championship Weekend Party, we made sure our presence was felt by everyone in Kansas City. Thanks to everyone who showed up, tuned in, said hello and enjoyed the weekend. We’re proud to be partners of the NWSL, and we’re excited to continue one-upping ourselves each year when it comes to the Championship.
