Reservoir Distillery
|
|
Reservoir Distillery is a Double Gold award-winning distillery located in Richmond, Virginia, created by proprietors and lifelong friends Jay Carpenter and David Cuttino. All of our mash bills are 100% expressions of the finest quality, locally-sourced grains. Reservoir Wheat Whiskey is 100% wheat; our Rye Whiskey is 100% rye, and our Bourbon is 100% corn. Reservoir is able to produce an exceptional age profile by using small barrels housed in a corner sanctuary of our distillery in historic downtown Richmond. A small barrel increases the surface area to distillate ratio, which allows for faster, comprehensive aging, and we let the local history – from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars to Arthur Ash and the recent RVA culinary renaissance – do what time does to living passions. Reservoir does not follow a set schedule for aging; instead, we personally taste every barrel to determine when it is ready. It takes a personal touch to make an exceptional whiskey, and just like our distilling process, our bottling procedures are hands-on and end with each bottle being personally signed by one of our dedicated distillers. Reservoir’s goal is to provide our customers with impeccably crafted products and, hopefully, an experience that enhances their lives.

Bourbon
Our Bourbon is 100% corn mash bill, which produces a big, bright Bourbon. Though most bourbons add a rye component to the mash bill for additional flavor – or, to a lesser extent, wheat – Reservoir trusts the full force of local corn and deep aging in our small barrels to produce a unique bourbon that is different from any other product available on the market. We recommend trying it neat to establish a baseline, then adding a touch of water or a single ice cube to adjust the proof and taste.

Reservoir Rye
Our first Double Gold-winning whiskey, the Reservoir Rye, is what we call our “Adult Swim” whiskey. Big and complex, it dominates the wheat and bourbon expressions. Experienced bourbon and scotch drinkers looking for something new will find our Reservoir Rye more than satisfies. In the crowded world of “High Ryes” on the market we are proud to offer the highest with a 100% rye mash bill. It gives an intense, sharp grainy profile that is not too sweet. We recommend trying it neat to establish a baseline, then adding a touch of water or a single ice cube to customize the experience for individual tastes.

Wheat Whiskey
Our Wheat Whiskey is the softest of our three expressions. Wheat produces a buttery, savory and smooth whiskey, and is an excellent introductory whiskey for those not experienced in brown spirits. We refer to it as our “Beginner Bourbon.” If you love the smoothness of a wheated bourbon you will fall in love with this 100% wheat mash bill. We recommend trying our Wheat Whiskey neat to establish a baseline, then adding a touch of water or a single ice cube to temper the proof.
