RD1 10 Year Limited Release Amburana Finish Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The nose is striking, not for its bigness and boldness, but for how expressive it is, a delicate spray of spiced apple and honey that speaks to its long-aging and maturity. On the palate, it walks the line between spice and sweetness, the initial burst of allspice and black pepper (hallmarks of its high proof and age) quickly giving way to a warm caramel sweetness that coats the tongue. As it develops, notes of ripe peach and baked fruit emerge, adding layers of nuance. The finish is where this bourbon truly shines, lingering long after the last sip with notes of aged oak and tobacco, leather and apple, and, trailing these, whispers of earth and anise.
