CLEVELAND — Cleveland native and Food Network star Michael Symon has announced the brand-new launch of River Roots Barrel Co.
River Roots Barrel Company, a Cleveland-based spirits curator and distillery, "promises a unique sensory experience for spirits connoisseurs and collectors alike."
The company, founded by whiskey aficionados, including Symon, aims to share a passion for the art of fine distillation with discerning drinkers.
“We are beyond excited to share our passion for the best spirits in the world with fellow enthusiasts right here in the heart of the Midwest and beyond,” Symon said. “Thanks to years of exploring flavor combinations and distilling techniques in travels across the globe, this team of owners are experts at identifying the top-quality spirits for a truly exceptional tasting experience.”
Whiskey enthusiasts, collectors, foodies and Michael Symon fans are invited to a special tasting and book signing from 3-6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 27, at Minotti's Wine and Spirits liquor store in Rocky River.
The company's debut will feature the unveiling of two bottles that highlight the company's commitment to quality and craftsmanship. One of the bottles is a 140-proof, 13-year Kentucky straight bourbon, aged an incredible six years in carefully selected port wine barrels, infusing it with rich, complex flavors. The second bottle is a five-year Kentucky straight bourbon cask strength, single-barrel offering showcasing the pure, unadulterated essence of some of the best bourbon made.
“We wanted to come out of the gate strong with meticulously selected bourbons that highlight the epitome of bourbon’s finest flavors,” said Ryan Lintz, CEO and co-founder of River Roots. “We come from Cleveland, where hard work and high quality go hand-in-hand, and that’s what we’ll give customers that drink our whiskey. The collection will continue to grow with offerings from around the world that meet our very high standards.”
River Roots will offer private single-barrel selections including bourbon, rye whiskey, rum and applejack.
