RD One Finished With Brazilian Amburana Wood

RD One Bourbon Finished with Brazilian Amburana Wood takes innovation and tradition to a new level, offering bourbon enthusiasts a truly unique tasting experience. While Amburana wood is commonly harvested in South America, its use in whiskey making is a fresh exploration for the RD One team, highlighting their adventurous spirit in the world of craft distilling.

Amburana, often referred to as "Brazilian Oak," is prized in South America for making essential oils, crafting luxury furniture, and aging Cachaça, Brazil’s most famous spirit. RD One takes advantage of this unique wood by using a patented technique to honeycomb drill small holes into the Amburana staves, allowing more surface interaction between the bourbon and the wood. This technique enhances the infusion of the bourbon with Amburana's distinct characteristics, creating a bourbon that is both rich and complex.

After aging their Kentucky Straight Bourbon for over four years, RD One inserts these specially treated Amburana staves into the barrel, resulting in a bourbon that captures the warm, spicy, and exotic notes of the wood. The flavors evolve with an inviting complexity, blending rich vanilla, cinnamon, and baking spices with the traditional smoothness of bourbon. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving hints of sweet caramel and a touch of smoky wood on the palate.

This limited release not only showcases RD One's curiosity and commitment to exploring new frontiers but also presents a bourbon unlike any other on the market. Whether you're a seasoned bourbon connoisseur or a newcomer eager to try something unique, RD One Finished with Brazilian Amburana Wood is a bottle worth exploring.

TASTING NOTES

Amburana wood staves are used in the making of this whiskey, which add a distinct cinnamon spiciness on the nose and palate that persists throughout. The spicy components take on additional intensity over time, adding notes of apple, nutmeg and brown sugar that are warm and inviting.
