Based in Lexington, Kentucky, RD1 Spirits exists to explore the bourbon frontier. Lexington entrepreneurs founded the company in 2020 to help give life to the stories of Lexington’s bourbon firsts, namely its first federally registered distillery (established in 1865). RD1 is paving its own path, focusing on Kentucky Straight Bourbon and its interaction with various wood finishings in barrel. Plea

se visit our Store Locator to find where to purchase RD1 Bourbon. And when in Lexington, we invite you to visit our Tasting Room & Gift Shop in the old distillery district for a unique bourbon experience. Must be 21 to follow. Please sip responsibly.

We’re bringing something NEW to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival 🥃

Next weekend, we’ll be pouring FOUR new RD1 experimental barrels, and our Master Distiller, Jarrad, and the entire RD1 team can’t wait to finally share what we’ve been working on with you.

Experimentation is at the heart of what we do at RD1. From unexpected wood finishes to bold new flavor profiles, these barrels showcase our continued exploration of wood, flavor, and what bourbon can become.

Come find us at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, taste all four experimental releases, meet the RD1 team, and tell us which barrel is your favorite.

See you in Bardstown! 🥃

Our guided tours take you into the science and sensory side of bourbon—from understanding the role wood plays in flavor to walking through the aromas, tasting notes, and characteristics you’re experiencing in the glass.

Then take it one step further with our Bottle-Your-Own Experience. Taste through our rotating experimental barrels, choose your favorite, thieve the bourbon straight from the barrel, and fill your own bottle to take home.
