RD1 Spirits is proud to announce its first limited release, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Brazilian Amburana Wood. Known for exploring the relationship between Kentucky straight bourbon and unique woods from across the world, the brand has released 900 cases on allocation across its U.S. distribution footprint.

 

The straight bourbon – crafted by a legacy Kentucky distillery – was aged for 10 years in traditional American oak barrels before honeycomb-drilled Brazilian Amburana wood staves were added to the barrels. RD1 has another Amburana-finished straight bourbon which has been aged for four years and bottled at 110 proof with a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye and 9% malted barley. The new limited release bourbon features a different mash bill – 78% corn, 13% rye and 9% malted barley – resulting in a unique tasting experience. 

 

Mike Tetterton, chief executive officer of RD1 Spirits commented: "RD1 fans are explorers; it’s our job to answer their call for what’s next, and I believe we’ve exceeded expectations on this allocated Bourbon. Our four-year-old Amburana is a bestseller and is known for its nostalgic holiday tasting notes. In this limited release, the oak and leather from this decade-old bourbon are beautifully softened by dynamic yet delicate hints of Amburana wood character. It pairs beautifully with an exquisite cigar.” 

 

The 10-year-old limited release is packaged in the iconic RD1 bottle, paired with a distinct black and gold label. The limited release (RRP $299) is now available for purchase at RD1’s Tasting Room in Lexington on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, at select retailers across the country, and online at RD1 Spirits’ website.
