Stopped in for a tasting while visiting from Charlotte. 100% Wheat, Corn and Rye flight. Hunter and Scott bourbon and Whiskey. Dara was super friendly, smart, beautiful and so so informative and the tasting was exactly what I needed.

Absolutely love the set up, it’s dark intimate and a nice vibes. I don’t know if she was the owner but she really know her product very well. As she explained things it drew me closer in. It was two staff members visible. At the time about 4 others customers. Let’s just say all I had was the tasting, never reallly had a chance to explore a cocktail because 23 minutes NO ONE came over. Was disappointed with the overall service. My prestive is they have precedence in who they serve and the “attention” they give to some versus others. Just MY thoughts. I’ll give it a try again. We all have lapse in service sometimes.

I’m not a whiskey drinker but wanted to try something new. This place is amazing! Great, fun, knowledgeable staff and great whiskey. Will definitely be back!

A sipper's delight with nifty flight options and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their core products each use 100% of the chosen grain, wheat, corn, and rye, offering a pure expression where most whiskies use a blended mash bill. 375s and 750s to go.

Love local distilleries like this. Great way to understand their process and add something unique to the bourbon collection!

Love Reservoir spirits and their tasting room.The tasting room has a large bar with ~7 seats and two community tables. You can see into the distillery from a couple of large windows. They offer both cocktails and flights Their founders series Wheat, Bourbon and Rye are single grain (100% wheat, 100% corn, 100% Rye respectively) perfect for sipping. Hunter Scott is for mixing and then they have their speciality Hollands series They have the standard versions of Manhattan and Old Fashions, as well as a rotation of seasonal specialsEveryone who works their is super friendly and will take the time to talk about their spirits - Mike is our favorite!

I decided to swing by here yesterday before heading to my hotel and I'm glad I did. The spirits and drinks here were great, as was the service. I recommend getting an Old Fashioned and doing a tasting of their whiskies. The inside is spacious and very nice. Dare was the bartender and she was awesome.

Enjoyed a tasting with my wife this afternoon. Our hostess was great, very knowledgeable and engaging. We each got a different flight then shared them. Will definitely be back.

Visited in November, cool hole in wall distillery. Enjoyed their tasting and bourbon and would be back if ever in Richmond again
Great atmosphere! Good music and fun vibe. Sadly we didn't love the spirits. Tried a flight of 3. Wheat whiskey, bourbon and rye. We didn't love any of them. Prefer McClintock (MD) and Sazerac. Would come back for a cocktail since it's a fun place.

I've tried most of the breweries in Richmond, so on a day trip, I went a little different direction. I was the only customer in the bar on an early Sunday afternoon, and the bartender was really cool, we chatted about a bunch of topics. I had a very nice tasting sampler of three whiskeys, and the Summit cocktail tasted refreshing and well balanced.

Great tastings here. I didn't know I was a fan until I went here. Very friendly staff. Must stop in if whiskey/bourbon lover for a flight.
