Rieger &amp; Co.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>J. Rieger &amp; Co. traces its roots back to <strong>1887<\/strong>, when Jacob Rieger founded the distillery in Kansas City, Missouri. Prior to Prohibition, Rieger was one of the largest mail-order whiskey houses in the country, shipping spirits nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many American distilleries, operations ceased during Prohibition in 1919.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brand was revived in 2014 by Andy Rieger (a descendant of the founder) and Ryan Maybee, bringing Kansas City distilling back to life. Today, J. Rieger &amp; Co. produces bourbon, rye, and their historic Kansas City Whiskey, blending tradition with modern distilling methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their distillery has become a centerpiece of the Kansas City spirits scene, combining historical authenticity with contemporary production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tasting-profile-bold-but-balanced\">Tasting Profile: Bold but Balanced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hazmat bourbons can sometimes overwhelm the palate.
