RD1 French Oak Finish
98 proof
4-6 years
Bourbon
RD1 Spirits
Lexington, KY
70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley
Nose
Softened and complex compared to the straight bourbon; less bold spice; hints of baker's chocolate and baking chocolate; subtle cherry notes; nutty, earthy undertones
Palate
Hits the sides of the tongue with a salivating effect; chocolate-covered cherry profile; baker's chocolate and nutty flavors; rye presence muted but still evident on the back end
Finish
Rye returns on the finish despite being muted in earlier stages; lingers with chocolate and subtle fruit complexity
Noteworthy
A refined, wood-softened expression that transforms the base bourbon into a more complex pour with chocolate and cherry notes—an elegant sipper with depth.
