Introducing RD1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon, meticulously aged for over 4 years and uniquely finished with Amburana staves.
Amburana, often referred to as "Brazilian Oak," is a rare find for craft distillers like them, commonly utilized for essential oils, luxury furniture, and the aging of Brazil's famed spirit, Cachaça. Employing a patented technique, their partner cooperage drills small holes into Amburana staves, allowing for enhanced wood interaction with the bourbon.
The result is a bourbon characterized by rich baking spices such as apple cinnamon and nutmeg, alongside nuanced notes of pine, vanilla, peaches, and apricots. With flavors evoking memories of spice cake and ginger snaps, a drop of water reveals subtle hints of herbal black tea, dark berry jam, and pineapple pepper. The finish is prolonged, warm, and adorned with nuances of allspice and sweet oak.
For those seeking a departure from traditional tasting notes, envision a cherished family heirloom coin collection, bask in the aroma of a lively sugar-cookie decorating party, or relish in the sweet and savory essence of a Hot Toddy, all while cocooned in the warmth of a snowed-in holiday atmosphere.
