I grabbed this one while I was out visiting San Francisco for the first time last month and I’m glad I did. Wow! This Old Potrero pick is full of balanced fruity and wood notes with the flavors dialed up to 11. It’s rather unique compared to other older ryes that I’ve tried and definitely wouldn’t be confused for MGP. Great pick by the team at K&L!
