Friends don't let friends drink bad booze. And that's the premise behind River Roots Barrel Co, an intimate tasting room and storehouse of curated spirits, including some of the best whiskey, bourbon and rye you'll find in the US. Inspired by a love for whiskey and seeing the need for a high-quality Midwest brand, the group set out on a journey to find the best spirits in the world to satisfy any whiskey enthusiast’s palate.

River Roots bottles and sells exceptional "orphan barrel" spirits— largely higher proof, single barrel statement products from big name, familiar producers that will surprise and delight casual drinkers and collectors alike.
