RD1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with Brazilian Amburana Wood is produced at Registered Distillery One in Lexington, Kentucky. Bottled at 110 proof and aged for over four years, this bourbon is crafted using Amburana wood, commonly known as Brazilian Oak, which is typically used for essential oils and furniture. The partner cooperage employs a patented technique that creates small holes in the Amburana staves, enhancing wood surface interaction with the bourbon. After the initial aging period, the Amburana staves are inserted into the barrel.
RD One makes a solid product at a good price and proof, but there’s not much here that made me excited. Amburana truly is the one-trick pony of the whiskey world.
I really am just a fan of what Amburana brings to spirits and this is a fantastic sipper. If you enjoy cinnamon and whiskey I highly recommend giving it a try.
