Rieger's Whiskey Kansas City

Initially sidles up to the tongue with the subdued, velvety sweetness of honey butter. However, that sweetness quickly evolves into a progressively more tingly burn that eclipses the other flavors. The burn continues building until swallowed, then gives way to the charred, caramel sweetness of a crème brûlée crust, without notes of the aforementioned autumnal spices, along with persistent tingles toward the back of the tongue and mouth.Jacob Rieger & Company was founded in 1887 in Kansas City’s West Bottoms Livestock Exchange district. The brand offered over 100 alcoholic products and took pride in maintaining a quarter of a million unique customers by offering mail-order delivery services. In 1919, Prohibition was enacted by the federal government and wasn’t reversed until 1933. J. Rieger & Co. was a casualty at the time, but was not destined to be lost forever. Nearly a century following Prohibition, we are proud to once again call Kansas City our home.
