RD1 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Double Finished in Oak and Maple Barrels is produced at Registered Distillery One in Lexington, Kentucky. It is bottled at 99.9 proof and aged for over four years. This bourbon undergoes a double finish process, initially using French oak staves steeped in a patented method involving pressure, oxygen, time and temperature with maple syrup. After the initial aging, the French oak and maple staves are inserted into the barrel for further aging.
There is certainly a note of maple throughout on this, but it is not nearly as pronounced as the nose made me think it would be. This starts off very mild with not much hitting the palate and just builds beautifully.
