Tapping a Bourbon Barrel with RD1 Distillery

An Invitation into RD1 Distillery
Nestled in the rolling hills of Northern Kentucky, RD1 Distillery stands out for its small-batch craftsmanship and innovative barrel programs. When RD1 gave us the opportunity to tap and choose our own barrel, we knew this was a rare opportunity to document the collector’s journey—from oak to glass. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon aficionado or new to barrel ownership, there’s something profoundly satisfying about tapping your first barrel.
