We’re diving into one of whiskey’s most talked-about debates: Bourbon vs Rye in this edition of Manifesto Hour.
Manifesto Hour invites guests to explore the stories, techniques, and philosophies behind what’s in the glass. For this edition, we’re diving into one of whiskey’s most talked-about debates: Bourbon vs Rye. Guided by the team from Reservoir Bourbon, guests will taste and compare thoughtfully selected expressions that highlight the distinct characteristics of each style. In addition to the tasting, guests will create (2) cocktails using Reservoir products—(1) bourbon and (1) rye—while enjoying an expanded tasting lineup featuring several additional products from the Reservoir portfolio. From mash bills and aging methods to flavor profiles and finish, this immersive hour is designed to sharpen your palate and deepen your appreciation for American whiskey.
Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon drinker or rye-curious, this experience offers a side-by-side exploration that’s equal parts educational, interactive, and enjoyable.
