J. Rieger & Co. recently announced its special 2021 Sporting Kansas City Whiskey Label in collaboration with the Sporting Kansas City team.
The Kansas City-based distillery located in the historic Electric Park created this year’s limited-edition collectible bottle, inspired by what’s said to be the history and energy of Kansas City and its people. This is the second edition of the J. Rieger & Co. Sporting Kansas City Label and became available starting April 22 until supplies run out.
Kansas City Whiskey is J. Rieger & Co.’s signature blend of straight bourbon, straight rye and light corn whiskey along with a hint of sherry. It is a limited edition 750ml bottle that is available for $34.99 at select retail stores throughout Kansas City, the J. Rieger & Co. Distillery and at Children’s Mercy Park — home of the Sporting Kansas City team.
Rieger & Co. partnered with Sporting Kansas City to offer select Rieger cocktails throughout Children’s Mercy Park as well, and guests can also visit the distillery’s bar in the Wise Power Shield Club at the stadium.
