RD One 10 Year Cask Strength Bourbon Amburana Finish Limited Release

RD One 10 Year Cask Strength Bourbon Amburana Finish Limited Release is an exceptional Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that combines over a decade of aging with innovative Brazilian Amburana wood finishing, bottled at a robust 117.78 proof (58.89% ABV). This limited-edition bourbon features a distinctive mash bill of 78% corn, 13% rye, and 9% malted barley, crafted by a legacy Kentucky distillery and finished using RD1's signature honeycomb-drilled Amburana staves that allow enhanced wood-to-spirit interaction. The result is a complex flavor profile beginning with inviting aromas of spiced apple and honey, evolving into layers of allspice, oak, and black pepper that transition to warm caramel sweetness with hints of ripe peach and baked fruit. The finish lingers beautifully with notes of aged oak, tobacco, leather, and subtle anise, creating a sophisticated sipping experience that balances the bold character of aged bourbon with the dynamic yet delicate sweetness imparted by the Brazilian wood. Packaged in RD1's recognizable bottle with an elegant black-and-gold label that pays homage to Lexington's historic Ashland Distillery, only 900 cases were released on allocation, making this a highly sought-after collectible for bourbon enthusiasts and explorers seeking unique wood-finished whiskeys. Available at select retailers nationwide, RD1's Lexington tasting room on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, and online, this masterpiece represents the pinnacle of traditional Kentucky bourbon-making enhanced by innovative finishing techniques.

Tasting Notes

The nose is an expressive bouquet of spiced apple and honey, a testament to its age and careful maturation. On the palate, a dynamic interplay unfolds: initial bursts of allspice and black pepper—signature notes from both the high proof and Amburana wood—give way to a warm caramel sweetness that coats the tongue. Layers of ripe peach, baked fruit, and hints of vanilla and toffee emerge, adding nuance and balance.

The finish lingers impressively, with aged oak, tobacco, and leather seamlessly joined by whispers of earth, anise, and lingering apple. The Amburana’s signature baking spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread—persist, leaving a memorable, long-lasting impression.
