Opened in 2008 by whiskey aficionados Mike Raymond and Steve Long, Reserve 101 features 340+ whiskeys from 14 different countries, including rare selections, Texas whiskeys and hand-selected private barrels bottled directly from some of the world's best distilleries.

Notable visitors have included The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Shakira, Charles Barkley, Kobe Bryant, Dana White and Sean Penn.
