A collaboration between Reservoir Distillery and local restaurateur and whisk(e)y bar owner, Mac McCormack. Spent the first portion of its life in Reservoir’s signature 5 gallon barrels, before being vatted into a single 53 gallon ex-Stout barrel from the local Ardent brewery.
Nose:Orange, as seems to be common to Reservoir, but this time expressed in chocolate orange crême form. Creamy and chocolatey all round.
Mouth: Really oily and full-bodied. Lots more caramel, and the influence of the stout flavours creep in, besides a herbal rye smokiness.
Finish: Creamy Velvety. The chocolate lingers besides a little more oak influence.
