Clevelander here. Big fan of River Roots and what they're doing as an independent bottler. Tom and the team are fantastic. Lately, I've been sipping "The Land," a 7yr Rye, but recently came across the "East Side" and "West Side" bottlings-both 11.5-year MGP ryes, right at the $89 mark (OHLQ = "Premium Aged Rye Single Barrel"). Great value, especially compared to other 11-12 year MGP ryes on the market. While at the gift shop, I managed to grab a couple of the 14-year port finished bottlings. Bit of a "one trick pony," some may say, but I'm a sucker for a good wine-finished whisky. My kind of pour. Delicious. As for this bottle, I haven't had it yet but will check it out. I prefer my Old Fashioneds with a 100 proof rye, so if anything it's perfect for that, but I'm sure it stands on its own. Great video as always, Cam. Cheers.

Congrats on 10K. Been a great year for you. Well deserved. I have liked everything if tried from RR.
Great review. Just goes to show you can find some great bourbon at reasonable prices 😊
