Reserve Bourbon candles are contained in tumbler like glass that will compliment a home bar, den or man cave. These interesting conversation pieces have a pleasing neutral color that will harmonize with any décor.

The first scent impression pre-lighting is of the fresh, clean outdoors. There is a hint of the faint sweetness of vanilla, one of bourbon’s signature notes. The candle is long and clean burning (as long as you remember to trim the wick initially) with no wick issues and the wax evenly puddles from beginning to end.

After lighting the candle the scent spreads quickly through the room with a strong but not overpowering intensity. The scent given off post-lighting is a rich, full masculine fragrance with soft hints of bourbon aging in dark oak barrels seeping through.

This woody, vanilla bouquet is a perfect scent for cold weather. As the warm glow and aroma fill your senses you are transported to a cozy lodge enjoying your bourbon in front of a roaring fire.  A Reserve Bourbon candle would be a great accessory for any bourbon lover’s home. Be prepared to crave your favorite spirit more than usual!
