Reservoir - Maison de Cuivre

Maison de Cuivre

Maison de Cuivre (The Copper House) is Reservoir’s flagship bourbon--our 100% corn whiskey--finished off in a Burgundy Grand Cru cask for an additional 18 months. The result is a juicy marriage of fruit and grain.

Bursting with the flavor of ripe red fruits from the barrel’s previous grapes, the small batch yearly releases of our red wine-finished whiskey pour out the flavors of velvety smooth toffee, tobacco, and oak notes imbued within our bourbon.

Maison de Cuivre is an LTO--a “limited time offering” long on flavor, but not long in stock. Produced in partnership with Michael Shaps--award winning vintner in America & France.

Tasting notes:

NOSE: Fig and apricot stone fruit, sugary notes of flossy cotton candy.
PALATE: Luscious, syrupy mouthfeel, where sweet tobacco and wine grapes come through right as the transition to the finish begins. One will notice this batch is not as tannic.
FINISH: Sweetened green tea and some rising chili pepper heat linger at the end.
