I don’t think you’re the only one with that opinion.

Happy Easter Baws, this isn’t my FPD but it’s the first documented



This is the second of the two ~130 proof 12 year MGP Ryes that I picked up this week.

Great bottle! Joining you with an 11.5 year old. So far I’ve purchased two bourbons and two ryes from River Roots and all are excellent. Cheers!

They have access to some great barrels, I have 7 bottles from them (5 being 11.5-12 year MGP ryes). A group that I’m part of buys barrels from them regularly (at least once per month), and they sell out quickly.

I visited their offices and bought three bottles, got another one from a liquor store in Akron. They are all very good and unique. The rye I just posted has a very long finish which takes me through multiple flavor notes. I actually found out about these guys from a post you made, looked them up and got started with them.

Are they available here in LA? or from a retailer that ships?

Not available in LA, they mostly do picks for groups, you might find them online from places like Bourbon Outfitter. Sounds like they may be in some stores in Ohio, but they aren’t very big at this moment.

They are a non-distilling producer, so they just source barrels from brokers, but they only buy good stuff.

ETA: occasionally they put good stuff up in their own online store that you can have shipped to you. They have a couple standard offerings, but they’ll put up some single barrels too, they go fast though so you’d want to get on the email list and/or follow them on IG.

How’s that one? I’ve considered it, but for the price I think I’d rather their single barrel barrel proof rye.

It's really good, especially after it opens up.
