About: For this special project, the River Roots team wanted a barrel that was unique, approachable, and, above all, delicious. Honey-finished whiskeys have become some of the most popular releases at River Roots, thanks to a careful approach to finishing. Rather than allowing the honey to dominate the whiskey, the goal is to add a subtle layer of sweetness and complexity while preserving the character of the original barrel.

‘Eat, Drink, and Bee Merry’ captures that balance beautifully. The honey finish complements the whiskey’s natural character, adding depth and sweetness without overpowering the bold flavors of the 125-proof single barrel. The result is exactly what the team looks for in a River Roots selection: unique, balanced, and enjoyable from the first sip through the finish.
