The Reservoir distillery in Richmond, Virginia, seem to have a thing for simplicity - much like their Bourbon and Rye (made with 100% corn and 100% rye, respectively), this expression from their range is made with 100% wheat! Aged in smaller casks, which results in increased surface area to distillate ratio, this is flavoursome though classically laid-back. Nose: Juicy red berries and thick layers of caramel. Palate: Rich honey, marmalade, buttered toast and chocolate-coated peanuts. Finish: A hint of orange chocolate remains.
