Reserve 101, “not your daddy’s whiskey bar,” will hold a complimentary tasting of Wild Turkey bourbons, including its newest product, Wild Turkey 81, on Tuesday, Aug. 23 at 6:30 p.m.
Registrations for this limited-space event may be made online at http://reserve101.com/whiskey-tastings-houston.
Wild Turkey 81 is an 81-proof blend of six-, seven- and eight-year-old bourbons crafted by Associate Distiller Eddie Russell to achieve a soft and mellow tone with an intense oak and char finish, and flavors of caramel, honey, vanilla and oak with hints of cinnamon. Also featured at the complimentary tasting are Wild Turkey 101 and American Honey Bourbons. Super-premium 101 is named for it’s proof (double the alcohol content). American Honey liqueur is straight bourbon flavored with hand-selected honey for a sweeter taste profile.
“Wild Turkey is an iconic American whiskey brand produced in Lawrenceville, Kentucky,” said Reserve 101 co-owner and whiskey expert Mike Raymond. “The original Ripy distillery dates to 1869. In 1940, distillery executive Thomas McCarthy brought a stash of Bourbon along on a wild turkey hunt. The next year, his hunting partners asked him to bring some more of ‘that wild turkey Bourbon,’ and the brand was born.”
Reserve 101 is located at the corner of Caroline and Dallas in the heart of Houston’s EaDo (East Downtown) entertainment district, next to Dirt Bar and across the street from House of Blues. In addition to its extensive whiskey collection (over 180 varieties, largest in the Southwest), the neighborhood bar is also famous for its Signature Cocktails and infusions, organic material steeped in liquor to impart distinctive flavorings.
“Happy Hour,” with dollar-off beers and wines and half-price signature cocktails runs from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday with specials just about every day of the week, including Sundays.
