- 28 minutes 35 secondsHaunted by Spirits: Mary Allison of Reservoir Distillery
Fall is just around the corner and we are getting into that brown liquor with Mary Allison, distiller at Richmond's own Reservoir Distillery. Reservoir has a small portfolio of whiskeys made with Virginia-grown grains—and often aged in Virginia wood, too—making their bottles a real local treat. We sat down with Mary to drink some rye and talk about her work at Reservoir, what she loves about whiskey, and why you should probably visit their Scott's Addition tasting room BEFORE your dinner at Peter Chang's, not after.
