Engage Your Senses

At Estéban Restaurant, we know tasting whisky isn't just about taking a sip and swallowing, it's an art that engages all your senses: sight, smell, taste and even feel. To make your sensory journey even more exceptional, we created our very own Estéban Reserve private label Kentucky bourbon. Our barrel aged, proprietary blend was created behind cellar doors by our Estéban Restaurant team. Whether you prefer your bourbon neat or enjoy it in your favorite cocktail, we invite you to sit back and relax while you experience the flavors of honeycomb, vanilla, and toasted marshmallow with the exceptionally harmonious finish.
