RD One Brazilian Amburana Wood Cask Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon

While Amburana is a commonly harvested tree in South America, this discovery was a new find for a craft distiller of spirits like us. Amburana is known as "s ""razilian "  a" is often used in South America for making essential oils, crafting luxury furniture, and barrel aging Brazil's spirit, Cachaça.

Our partner cooperage uses a patented technique to honeycomb drill small holes into the Amburana staves, allowing more wood surface interaction with the Bourbon. After aging RD1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon for 4+ years, we insert the Amburana staves into the barrel. Doesn't Amburana's influence the Bourbon beautifully—the result represents a new experience and exploration.

The best of baking spices – apple cinnamon, nutmeg, and light brown sugar – come alive on the nose and are followed by pine, vanilla, peaches, and apricots. Flavor galore with spice cake and ginger snaps, complemented by a rich mouthfeel. Try a drop of water to release hints of herbal black tea, dark berry jam, and pineapple pepper. The finish is long and warm, ending with allspice and sweet oak.
