J. Rieger & Co.

We did the tour, which was followed by a tasting. I was really excited about seeing a KC company revived. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions about the history, distilling process, mash bill, aging, etc. The tour was not extremely long, about an hour. After the tour, there was a tasting of several of their spirits. Afterward, the bar was open to taste other select whiskey and cocktails. Finally, I totally recommend doing the ride down the slide, checking out the restaurant, and bar. Thank you for a memorable birthday. Cheers!

SO awesome! Amazing to learn the early history of Kansas City and the importance alcohol had in developing it. Fantastic staff (and employers, every single person seemed genuinely happy to work there), great food, delicious drinks, and just so cozy! I loved the Hey Hey Club in the basement. Very chill vibe. All the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Overall, I would highly recommend taking the tasting tour (maybe in the winter though, as it was very hot today and the barrel room isn't climate controlled.) All of the food I had was delicious and was very quick to arrive after ordering. What a terrific experience!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this impressive distillery that left me thoroughly impressed. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a sense of awe at the sheer size and offerings of this establishment. The experience began with the convenience of pre-ordering a bottle of bourbon online, ensuring a seamless pickup process. What truly set this distillery apart was the exceptional service provided by the friendly and attentive servers. They were knowledgeable about the various spirits on offer and were more than happy to answer any questions I had. Their warm demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. One of the highlights of my visit was the patio area, where I spent most of my time due to the fact that I had my furry companion with me. The distillery's commitment to accommodating pet owners was evident, as they provided ample shade and thoughtfully placed dog bowls throughout the patio area. It was refreshing to find a place that catered to both humans and their four-legged friends. To my delight, I discovered that the distillery also offered a happy hour promotion. The drinks during this time were offered at half off the regular price, and they were truly outstanding. I found the happy hour beverages to be not only great in taste but also incredibly refreshing, perfectly complementing the ambiance of the distillery. In summary, this distillery left me thoroughly impressed with its vast size, friendly staff, pet-friendly atmosphere, and excellent happy hour offerings. I would highly recommend visiting this establishment to anyone looking for a remarkable experience. Whether you're a cocktail making enthusiast, a dog lover, or simply seeking a delightful happy hour, this distillery has something to offer everyone.

Great distillery! What a grand afternoon! 👏 Wonderful drinks, atmosphere, facility, surroundings, amenities, and people watching! There's so much going on in so many different directions! When you enter, there's a reception desk in front of the distillery, tons of merchandise, and full bottles available along with a stainless steel "tornado slide" 🛝 ..... how exciting is that?! A friend took a "slide video," which is included! The drinks were "good, really good!" The establishment had an upstairs eating area, with beautiful sites from all directions! The bars were shared with the front and back along with a patio area that's a huge hit, with food available! The food looked wonderful! 👌 The staff was friendly and the photos speak for themselves! It was worthy of a visit! This is definitely a well-kept KC secret that needs to be bragged upon! A visit, an afternoon or evening out, it's spectacular!
