J. Rieger & Co. is a landmark American distillery rooted in Kansas City history. Originally founded in 1887, we were once the largest mail-order whiskey house in the country. After being shuttered by Prohibition, we were revived in 2014 by Jacob Rieger’s great-great-great-grandson and a renowned local bartender, ushering in a new golden era for spirits in the Midwest.
Blending heritage with innovation, J. Rieger & Co. has become a modern-day pioneer—creating award-winning spirits like our signature Kansas City Whiskey, introducing the Monogram Solera Reserve, and pushing boundaries with sweet mash fermentation and two-step distillation. Our portfolio includes best-in-class whiskeys, Midwestern Dry Gin, Premium Wheat Vodka, and the unique Caffè Amaro.
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.
