J Rieger's Kansas City Whiskey

J. Rieger’s Kansas City Whiskey is a bold revival of a pre-Prohibition original, reintroduced by J. Rieger & Co. with modern precision and deep respect for history. This distinctive American whiskey is built on a blend of straight bourbon, straight rye, and light corn whiskey—then finished with a touch of 15-year-old Oloroso Sherry, a hallmark of the historic Kansas City style.

That final sherry finish adds richness and roundness without overpowering the whiskey’s core character. The result is a balanced, approachable pour that bridges classic American whiskey structure with Old World elegance. It’s versatile enough for cocktails yet layered enough to enjoy neat—exactly the kind of whiskey Kansas City was known for at the turn of the last century.
