Reservoir Distillery Maison de Cuivre Bourbon Whiskey – French Oak Merlot Cask Finish | 50% ABV | 30ml Sample

Reservoir Distillery | Maison de Cuivre | French Oak Merlot Cask Finish | 50% ABV | 30ml Sample

Maison de Cuivre — French for The Copper House — is a limited edition bourbon from Reservoir Distillery that tells a story in every sip. Finished in French oak Merlot wine casks and bottled at a bold 50% ABV (100 proof), this is a whiskey that bridges two worlds: the sun-baked cornfields of Virginia and the rolling vineyards of France.

With only 1,100 bottles ever released, this is a rare find. The label itself captures the spirit of the expression — a striking visual marriage of corn and grape, a reminder (in case you needed one) of exactly what makes this bourbon so distinctive.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warm vanilla and toasted oak open up to reveal ripe Merlot fruit — dark cherry, blackcurrant, and a whisper of dried fig.
• Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Classic bourbon sweetness — caramel, baking spice, and charred oak — layered with the plush, velvety character of French oak and red wine tannins.
• Finish: Long and complex, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a gentle wine-soaked warmth.
