Barrel data, live

Real-time data from every barrel

Sensors, a live data feed, and custom builds for aging spirits. Catch a leaking barrel while it is still a two-minute fix.

The quiet loss

Every warehouse gives a share to the angels. The loss nobody plans for is the barrel that leaks, quietly, until the day someone finds it empty.

The problem

A leak stays hidden until the barrel is empty

Loss is already built in.
A leak adds to it, quietly and unseen.

Up to 9%
Bourbon

0%5%10%

Loss varies across warehouses and spirit types.

The fix

Caught early, a leak can take
as little as two minutes to fix

Tap in a cedar spike or use an alternative sealing method. It only works if someone knows the barrel is leaking.

Fix time is a Roth River estimate. Based on our October 2022 leak test and Cincinnati Dowel guidance.

The sensor

Now you know.
And can profit from it.

A Roth River sensor reads the barrel around the clock, detecting humidity spikes in real time to help you find leaks quickly and protect the spirit you sell.

How it works

Live barrel sensor data
connected to your systems.

01

Sensor

Reads the barrel 24/7: temperature, pressure, humidity and movement.

02

Gateway

Moves readings off the warehouse floor.

03

Data and API

Securely collects and organizes your sensor data in your own instance, ready to connect through the API.

04

Your systems

Connect live barrel data to your ERP, sampling, weather and inventory data to turn readings into insight.

Any aging spirit

Whiskey, rum, tequila, brandy

If it ages in a barrel, it can have a live feed.

Why now
“With improving foundation models and plummeting sensor costs, dense physical-world data collection is now feasible.”

Austin Tindle and Diana Hu, Y Combinator, Requests for Startups, Fall 2026

Anyone can build a dashboard now. Proprietary barrel data is the hard part to copy.
