The sophomore release from Beverly Spirits was just announced and it is a limited release, cask strength offering and sibling to their debut American Whiskey, Beverly High Rye. The Beverly Reserve, bottled at 116 Proof, is the work of Founder Andrew Borenzweig and Cedar Ridge Distillery’s Murphy Quint. We previously reviewed the original Beverly High Rye and were impressed with their utilization of Iowa distilled whiskey in addition to the workhorse whiskey distilled in Indiana that most people may be familiar with. The result of the blend was a very well balanced “Bour-Rye” type American Whiskey that plays nicely when poured neat, poured over a large ice cube, or even in a whiskey cocktail. You can read our full review of The Beverly High Rye here. For more details on The Beverly Reserve, read on for the full press release from the brand.
Introducing The Beverly Reserve
Beverly Spirits is proud to introduce The Beverly Reserve, a highly anticipated limited edition barrel strength American whiskey, set to make its grand debut on October 10. To celebrate the release of this new expression, and Beverly Spirits’ release in the state of Tennessee, the brand is hosting an exclusive launch event at 1 Hotel Nashville. Beverly Spirits’ award-winning American whiskeys, The Beverly High Rye and The Beverly Reserve, will be distributed by Best Brands Inc. in Tennessee.
Crafted by Beverly Spirits Founder Andrew Borenzweig and Cedar Ridge Distillery’s Head Distiller Murphy Quint in the process of designing their original recipe in 2021, The Beverly Reserve impressed them with its remarkable finesse at a notable 116 Proof, and they reserved it for an exclusive future release. Today, Beverly Spirits is excited to announce the arrival of the inaugural batch of only 550 bottles.
What’s in The Beverly Reserve?
A blend of sixty percent straight bourbon and forty percent straight rye, The Beverly Reserve offers rich, round layers of burnt marshmallow, caramel, candied pecans, and a sensation of melted butter mouthfeel, leading into a long, decadent finish full of brown butter, maple, and cinnamon. This superior sipping whiskey is meant to be savored neat.
We are thrilled to unveil our first new expression, The Beverly Reserve. It is bold, buttery, rich and round — and uniquely pleasurable to sip at barrel strength. When Murphy and I first tasted it in 2021, our eyes lit up. We are excited to share that experience with enthusiasts across the country in this first, limited batch of only five hundred and fifty bottles.
