Reservoir Hunter & Scott Bourbon Whiskey

Bourbon Whiskey | NV | 45% | 70 cl | United States

A young meld of corn, wheat, and rye, this bourbon reveals a dance of toasted oak mingling with candied cinnamon and butterscotch warmth. Its aroma drapes vanilla and tobacco hints over a honeyed core, carrying whispers of a woodshop's rustic edge and a subtle metallic undertone that lingers like an unexpected brush of iron. The texture is smooth but alive, unfolding layers that feel both freshly baked and carefully aged in small Virginia oak barrels.

Storage advice

To optimally store Bourbon Whiskey and preserve its quality and shelf life follow these practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature between 15 to 20°C (59 to 68°F) ideally around room temperature. Avoid temperature fluctuations or extremes as heat can accelerate evaporation and degrade flavors.

- Light Exposure: Store bourbon in a dark place away from direct sunlight. Light exposure can cause chemical changes that negatively affect the flavor profile.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed at all times. After opening the exposure to oxygen can gradually alter the bourbon’s aroma and taste over time so resealing promptly is critical.

- Bottle Position: Always store bourbon upright never on its side. This prevents prolonged contact between the liquid and the cork which can cause cork deterioration or contamination of flavor.

- Humidity: Aim for a relative humidity range between 50% and 70%. Too low humidity can dry out corks leading to air intrusion while too high can promote mold growth and damage labels.

- Unopened Bottles: Can be stored indefinitely under the above conditions without quality loss since bourbon’s high alcohol content preserves it.

- Opened Bottles: After opening bourbon quality may decline slowly due to oxidation. Keeping bottles sealed tightly and stored as above can slow this process significantly.

Avoid refrigeration as cold storage can mute desirable aromas and tastes in bourbon. Also do not stack bottles in unstable ways to prevent damage or leakage.

Following these guidelines maintains the bourbon’s integrity for both unopened and opened bottles ensuring its flavor and aroma remain as intended for as long as possible.
