The story behind it

The maker

Founded in Lexington, Kentucky, RD1 Spirits was established to revive the rich distilling heritage of the region's historic first registered distillery. The modern brand honors these deep 19th-century roots by producing award-winning, innovative wood-finished and classic straight bourbons.

How it is made

RD1 Spirits pays homage to Lexington's first registered distillery, federally designated as RD#1 in 1865. The whiskey is crafted using traditional copper pot distillation and aged in charred new American oak barrels in the heart of Kentucky.
