I bought my first bottle of Old Potrero Rye about 10 years ago and it was meh. The bottle remained on my shelf for many years and I finally finished it a while back to clear some space. To be fair, I believe that bottle was young, perhaps a 2 year old? Can’t be certain. This is a long-winded way of saying that I wasn’t looking to give Old Potrero another shot but picked one up last month at @gordonswine in the Greater Boston area after speaking with one of the owners, @thewhiskyguys. This bottle's one of the store’s barrel picks. I generally don’t do store picks except for @gordonswine because they pick great barrels and I have yet to be disappointed. That said, I approached this bottle with some trepidation.
