RD One Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished with French Oak – A Refined Twist on a Timeless Classic
RD One brings a new dimension to heritage bourbon with this small batch expression finished in French oak. Crafted in Kentucky with a traditional mash bill and aged in American white oak barrels, the whiskey then undergoes a secondary rest with French oak to draw out layers of elegance, depth, and spice.
This innovative finish complements the core bourbon notes with a graceful infusion of toasted wood, delicate tannins, and rounded sweetness. It’s a thoughtfully balanced bourbon with old-world sophistication and modern character.
