TBWC Reservoir Distillery 2YO Wheat 500mL

Soft, sweet, and full of youthful warmth, the Reservoir Distillery 2 Year Old from That Boutique-y Whisky Company is a rare glimpse into American wheat whiskey from a distillery known for grain-specific bottlings. Despite its youth, this expression delivers gentle complexity, creamy texture, and a fresh-baked graininess that highlights both distillate and oak. The nose opens with comforting aromas of vanilla sponge cake, warm cereal mash, and banana pudding, layered with hints of honey butter, white pepper, and fresh cornbread. A touch of oak char and baking spice adds depth to its soft sweetness. On the palate, it’s plush and slightly oily, offering notes of toasted wheat, maple sugar, and coconut flakes, evolving into butterscotch, cinnamon, and griddled flapjack. The youth is evident, but never harsh — instead, it’s bright, playful, and easy-drinking. The finish is short-to-medium, leaving behind traces of light caramel, sawdust oak, and a lingering echo of vanilla custard and sweet cereal grain.
