The Reservoir Virginia Rye Whiskey Batch 1 - Year 2024 is a powerful, authentic rye whiskey from the USA, made by hand from regional ingredients. This limited small-batch bottling is produced by the Reservoir Distillery in Richmond, Virginia - an independent craft distillery known for its clear philosophy of origin and high-quality single cask and small-batch bottlings.
The mash bill is 100% rye and comes from Virginia and shapes the spicy, distinctive character of the bottling.
With an alcohol content of 50 % vol., this rye whiskey has powerful aromas without losing any of its balance. The maturation in fresh, burnt American oak barrels ensures an intense interplay of rye spice, vanilla, roasted nuts and dark caramel. Batch 1 from the 2024 vintage produces an American rye with a strong character and depth that is just as convincing on its own as it is in a classic whiskey cocktail.
