Tasting Notes

Imagine taking a stroll through a cozy autumn evening, where the air is crisp and the scents of baking spices waft from nearby kitchens. That's the experience Reservoir Rye whiskey offers. Upon pouring, aromas of cardamom, clove, and a subtle hint of camphor immediately captivate the senses, complemented by notes of burnt sugar and cedar. As you take your first sip, a subtle floral hint develops on the palate, but the true star remains the rich and complex flavors of cooking spices and caramel. The finish is a delightful interplay of fizzy oak, strawberry, and a peppery kick that lingers pleasantly on the tongue. Crafted from a bold mashbill of 100% rye, this whiskey showcases the distillers' mastery in taming this notoriously challenging grain. Matured in small casks to maximize flavor extraction, Reservoir Rye delivers a spicy, complex, and utterly exciting whiskey experience that will transport you to the cozy embrace of autumn's warmth.
