J. RIEGER & CO. is a landmark American distillery built on a family legacy dating back to 1887.
Founded by Jacob Rieger in 1887, Kansas City-based J. Rieger & Co. was the largest mail-order whiskey house in the country before Prohibition shut down operations. In 2014, Andy Rieger, the great-great-great-grandson of Jacob Rieger, and renowned bartender Ryan Maybee, relaunched the distillery as part of a new golden era in American spirits backed by two industry legends: the late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell and Master Distiller Tom Nichol. Today, we provide award-winning spirits, innovative cocktails, and memorable experiences to our guests at our historic distillery in Kansas City’s Electric Park District.
Our distillery is also one of Kansas City’s top destinations, housed in a historic Electric Park building and home to four distinct cocktail bars, immersive tours, and a 40-foot indoor slide. Every space is thoughtfully designed, making J. Rieger & Co. a festive and unforgettable setting for private events and seasonal gatherings.
Whether you’re sipping in the Monogram Lounge, exploring our history on a distillery tour, or hosting a celebration, J. Rieger & Co. delivers elevated spirits and exceptional experiences in a space like no other.
