About Reservoir Distillery

Founded by lifelong friends in 2008, was built on a passion for crafting exceptional whiskeys using 100% Virginia-grown grains, small-batch techniques, and intensely hands-on production. Their wheat, corn, and rye whiskeys are each made from a 100% single‑grain mash bill, matured in small barrels, and hand‑signed — a process that has earned them multiple Double Gold awards.

Reservoir represents the essence of Virginia craftsmanship — bold, quality-driven, and rooted in local tradition.
