What a gem is Reservoir 100% wheat whiskey. I kept saying to myself, "wow!" I love it. Deep and rich are the descriptors that keep recurring in my mind.

Increasingly, Reservoir has come into its own as not just a spirits producer–pretty much all of them are available as neat pours here–but as a legitimate hangout spot for barrel-aged whiskey cocktails. It should not be overlooked.

This opulent whiskey has a 100% rye mash bill. This is a big spicy swallow, with wintergreen, ginger, black pepper, and caramel. For those ready to make the jump into single malt, here is your bridge.

It was fantastic to partner with NOLA Smokehouse and Bar (Sydney, Australia) who focus their entire ethos around great American cuisine and of course American Whiskeys. They know how to put on great events and their expertise in pairing some great food with the whiskies was second to none.
