RD1 Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon takes an adventurous turn with its finishing in Brazilian Amburana wood—a rare and aromatic hardwood commonly used for aging Cachaça. This innovative finishing process involves inserting honeycombed Amburana staves into the barrels after the bourbon has matured for 4+ years, allowing for maximum interaction between the whiskey and the wood. The result is a bold and spice-forward bourbon with layers of baking spices, fruit, and rich sweetness, offering an experience that is both unique and deeply satisfying.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This small batch Kentucky straight bourbon takes a detour most bourbons never do. After resting for four-plus years, it meets honeycombed staves of Brazilian Amburana, a rare, aromatic hardwood commonly used for aging Cachaça. The staves go right into the barrels, so the whiskey gets plenty of contact with the wood, and you can taste it. The nose opens with apple cinnamon, nutmeg and light brown sugar, then pine, vanilla, peach and apricot. The palate reads like spice cake and ginger snaps, with herbal black tea and dark berry jam, and it finishes long and warm on allspice and sweet oak. It suits the curious bourbon drinker who already knows the classic profile and wants to see how a finish can reshape it. It also makes a memorable bottle to share on cold nights. We carry it because an Amburana finish is a genuinely different take on bourbon, and this one leans fully into the spice without losing its bourbon backbone.
Pairs well with
- Apple pie or spice cake — The bourbon's apple cinnamon, nutmeg and spice cake notes mirror a warm autumn dessert.
- Cozy winter nights — Its long, warm finish of allspice and sweet oak suits a slow pour by the fire.
- Holiday gatherings with friends — The baking spice and brown sugar character makes a festive Spiced Old Fashioned with maple syrup and a cinnamon stick.

Should I add water?
Should I add water?
A drop of water is worth trying. It brings out the herbal and fruity notes, softens the spice slightly and can reveal a hint of pineapple pepper on the palate. Neat is best for the full range from spice to fruit, and ice mellows the intensity while keeping the rich mouthfeel.
