J. Rieger & Co. was established in 1887, shuttered by Prohibition in 1919, and reborn in 2014. We began one of our favorite holiday traditions two years later, creating a special-edition holiday label for our category-defining Kansas City Whiskey. Our eighth annual holiday offering once again features a highly collectible and delightfully giftable label, inspired by festive J. Rieger & Co. holiday advertisements from those pre-Prohibition days and designed in collaboration with our friends at Charlie Hustle.
Our 2023 Holiday Edition Kansas City Whiskey is serving up cheer with our award-winning blend of straight bourbon whiskey, light corn whiskey, and straight rye whiskey, all aged at least four years, as well as a small amount of 15-year-old oloroso sherry from the Williams & Humbert Bodega in Jerez, Spain. Bottled at 92 proof, Kansas City Whiskey is well-balanced, smooth, and slightly sweet. It’s beautiful when served neat or on the rocks, but also works well in classic bourbon- or rye-based cocktails like the Horsefeather, Manhattan, and Old Fashioned. This seventh annual limited-edition label, designed in collaboration with Charlie Hustle, celebrates the spirit of the season, good music, good friends, and great whiskey.
We proudly present our 2022 Holiday Edition Kansas City Whiskey, our signature blend of Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye & Light Corn Whiskeys, with just a hint of Sherry. Designed in collaboration with Charlie Hustle, this sixth annual limited edition label evokes the warm, nostalgic feeling the holiday season brings; a time best spent with family and friends over a glass of Kansas City Whiskey.
Designed in collaboration with Charlie Hustle, we proudly present our 2021 Holiday Edition Kansas City Whiskey, our signature blend of Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye & Light Corn Whiskeys, with just a hint of Sherry.

Designed in collaboration with Charlie Hustle, we proudly present our 2020 Holiday Edition Kansas City Whiskey, our signature blend of Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye, and Light Corn Whiskeys, with just a hint of Sherry. This fourth annual limited edition label draws inspiration from mid-century greeting cards and holiday ads – evoking the same warm nostalgia and merriment found in every bottle of Rieger.
Designed in collaboration with Charlie Hustle, we proudly present our 2019 Holiday Edition Kansas City Whiskey, our signature blend of Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye & Light Corn Whiskeys, with just a hint of Sherry. This third annual limited edition label draws inspiration from the 1912 Rieger’s “Holiday Offer”, a festive advertisement that promised “good cheer” and “yule-tide happiness” in every bottle of Rieger.
The pre-Prohibition iteration of J. Rieger & Co. claimed to be the largest mail order Whiskey house in the country. One of the biggest sales opportunities of the year for Jacob and his son Alexander was the Holidays and each year they sent out a festive Holiday ad offering the best deals of the year on Rieger’s Whiskey. The liquor would be delivered through the mail straight to the customer’s home, just in time to be shared with family and friends for Holiday gatherings. We are honoring the tradition of bringing home Rieger for the holidays with our annual limited edition Holiday label Kansas City Whiskey. The label of our flagship whiskey will be redesigned each year to celebrate the holiday season.
