RICHMOND, VA (May 2025) — River City Whiskey is proud to announce that its Beaver Bridge Barrel has been awarded Double Platinum at the 2025 ASCOT Awards, one of the industry’s most prestigious honors celebrating excellence in American spirits.

This standout single barrel release is a testament to River City Whiskey’s passion for curating bold, distinct spirits that honor the craft and culture of bourbon through connection.

After years of searching for a barrel that represents how we’d like to honor the craft and culture of bourbon, we are ecstatic that The Beaver Bridge Barrel lives up to not only to our standards for remarkable flavor, but is now recognized as a top-tier pick bourbon lovers anywhere can connect with and enjoy.” says Ricky Rice, Co-founder, River City Whiskey & Brown Water Select.
