HB 681 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Designates J. Rieger & Co. the official Kansas City whiskey of Missouri

HB 681 designates J. Rieger & Co. as Missouri's official Kansas City whiskey, recognizing the company's historical role as the largest mail-order whiskey house in the U.S. before Prohibition and its revival in 2015 as the first Kansas City-distilled whiskey since Prohibition. This ceremonial bill has no regulatory or financial impact - it only creates a symbolic designation for the company. It directly affects J. Rieger & Co. by granting it a formal, non-binding title. The bill is currently in committee referral (Emerging Issues) with no votes taken.
