Reservoir Hunter & Scott Bourbon

A smooth, approachable, and versatile "everyday" bourbon from Virginia’s award-winning Reservoir Distillery! Named after the middle names of the distillery's founders, Hunter & Scott is a meticulously crafted marriage of Virginia-grown grains. While Reservoir's premium line focuses on single-grain expressions, this bourbon brings them all together with a unique mash bill of 75% corn, 20% wheat, and 5% rye. Aged for approximately two years in small, custom alligator-charred barrels, it punches well above its age statement, delivering a rich, barrel-forward complexity. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it is specifically designed to be as comfortable in a premium cocktail like a Paper Plane as it is served neat on the porch.

NOSE

Warm and inviting with classic aromas of creamy vanilla, light tobacco leaf, and toasted pecans. Subtle hints of stone fruit (peach and apricot) and unbrewed black tea add a sophisticated floral layer.

PALATE

Sweet and well-balanced with a silky mouthfeel. Lush flavors of butterscotch, candied cinnamon, and burnt sugar are met with the distinct, savory profile of toasted oak and a touch of honeyed cereal grain.

FINISH

Medium-long and remarkably balanced. It features a lively, peppery kick from the rye that transitions into a soft, lingering "wheat tail" of sweet vanilla and baking spice.
