On Sept. 10, RD1 Spirits launched its new bourbon line.
I had high hopes going into this review because I enjoyed their William Tarr line of bourbon.
According to their website, “In 1865, the Ashland Distillery was established, the first to obtain a federally registered distillery license, and was assigned RD#1. Located on Manchester Street at the city limits of Lexington, Ky., today, the remains of the original distillery can be found at what is now the entrance to Lexington’s Distillery District.”
The finish was unexpected, as the sweetness diminished as black pepper and just a smidge of clove entered, which was lovely and very deceiving.
Overall, this is a solid bourbon for RD1’s new line, and I know more is to come.
