Description
A global ode to craftsmanship and culture, RD One Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – Sister Cities Finished With Japanese Mizunara & French Oak (Limited Release) unites three whiskey traditions in one extraordinary bottle. Rooted in the rebirth of Lexington’s original 1865 distillery, this release honors RD#1’s storied past while embracing international inspiration from Lexington’s sister cities — Shinhidaka, Japan and Deauville, France.
This meticulously layered whiskey begins with well-aged Kentucky Bourbon rested for five years before being finished with medium-toasted French Oak “necklaces” for a soulful depth of vanilla, chocolate, and red fruit. It is then blended with 7-year bourbon and 8-year rye, creating a balanced backbone of sweetness and spice. Finally, lightly-toasted Mizunara oak staves lend exotic softness, sandalwood aroma, and incense-like elegance.
The result? A luxurious, cross-cultural whiskey experience that mirrors a passport-stamped journey — refined, complex, and beautifully harmonious. Bluegrass spirit meets world-class wood.
