Through the Lexington (KY) Sister Cities Commission, RD1 celebrates its hometownโs global ties with a Limited Release inspired by sister cities Shinhidaka, Japan, and Deauville, France. This unique expression brings together Americaโs Native Spirit with wood from both countries.
They began by heavily finishing 5-year bourbon with medium toasted French Oak โnecklaces,โ resting it for twice as long as our standard French Oak Bourbon. This was then blended with 7-year Bourbon and 8-year Rye to deepen complexity. Finally, lightly toasted Mizunara staves were added briefly, lending soft notes of sandalwood and incense.
