RD One Small Batch French Oak 750ml

RD One Small Batch French Oak is a Kentucky bourbon finished in French oak, a tighter-grained wood that gives up finer tannin and sweeter spice than the standard American oak barrel. The brand takes its name from Lexington's Registered Distillery No. 1, and the small batch format means a limited marriage of barrels rather than a continuous run. The finishing wood shows clearly: baked apple and vanilla on the nose, a palate of caramel, clove and dark chocolate, then toasted oak and a dry, faintly nutty close. Drink it neat first to read the wood, then over one large cube, or build an old fashioned with an orange twist.
