Aged to perfection, Blacktooh 7 Year American Rye Whiskey is a testament to premium craftsmanship and the robust spirit of American whiskey. Its smooth, complex flavor profile is designed to captivate and satisfy connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike.

The grapes from the province of Treviso, an area that has always produced high quality Prosecco, give this sparkling wine a luminous straw yellow hue and for its emphatic yet stylish mousse. The bouquet is redolent of golden apple, while the palate is appealingly marked by aromatic notes of golden apple, white peach and honey.

Mionetto’s most classic line reflects its connections with the history of the winery in the elegant presentation of the bottle, which features an oblique label design that has always been a characteristic of the winery. The refined design of the label reflects the style of the products. Prestige, quality in every detail!

SENSORY PROFILE

Aged to perfection in former whiskey barrels for up to 12 months, Lost Lore High Proof Reposado "La Catrina" is a beautifully balanced tequila that showcases the expertise of Master Distiller Sergio Cruz at the renowned NOM 1414 distillery, operated by the Vivanco family. With a strength of 98 proof (49% ABV), this reposado offers a rich and complex flavor profile, highlighted by deep notes of cooked agave, creamy vanilla, and the subtle warmth of oak from its time in the barrel.

Crafted with precision at the renowned NOM 1414 distillery under the expertise of Master Distiller Sergio Cruz, Lost Lore Still Strength Blanco Tequila is a bold expression of tradition and purity. Bottled at an impressive 110 proof (55% ABV), this tequila delivers an intense, unfiltered agave experience. Its robust profile is balanced by refreshing citrus undertones and a lively kick of black pepper, offering a complex and satisfying sip.

Busnel Calvados Pays d'Auge AOC VSOP is a distinguished apple brandy crafted in the heart of the Pays d'Auge region in Normandy, France. This appellation is recognized for its strict production standards, ensuring only the finest Calvados comes from the region. The VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale) designation indicates that the blend of Calvados has been aged for a minimum of four years in oak barrels, although many expressions in the blend may be aged longer. The oak maturation imparts rich, complex flavors and deep amber hues, balancing the crisp freshness of apples with layers of vanilla, caramel, and subtle spice.

Busnel’s commitment to traditional distillation methods, using only apples sourced from the Pays d'Auge and employing double distillation, results in a spirit that captures the essence of the region's apple orchards. On the palate, expect a well-rounded and smooth texture with notes of baked apples, dried fruits, and toasted wood, finishing with a hint of spice and vanilla. It’s perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or as an exquisite base for cocktails.

The fourth release in the Harmony Collection has been created in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil to tell our oak story in an imaginative, visual and innovative way.

IN HARMONY WITH NATURE
Two brands dedicated to constant innovation, this collaboration is inspired by a shared respect for creativity and reverence for the natural world.

For this release that celebrates our 200 Year Anniversary, we focus on our own area of expertise and mastery which is represented by oak. Oak runs through every facet of The Macallan and our exceptional sherry seasoned oak casks are the single greatest contributor to the outstanding quality, distinctive aromas and flavours of our whisky.

The Macallan continuously draws inspiration from nature. The Harmony Collection, Vibrant Oak is a reminder of the importance of both the connection with our natural environment and of preserving it.

THE EXPERIENCE

200 ML Kentucky Straight Bourbon Wood-Finished Flight

The Packaging: Eye-Catching
These 200 ML glass bottles are an exact replica of the RD1 750 ML bottles, featuring RD1’s iconic etched fencing around the base of the bottle and the colorful labels that distinguish our wood finishes. This makes for a perfect gift (think Father’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays and more) and a one-of-a-kind bourbon tasting.

The Experience: Our Lexington Tasting Room…In Your Own Home!
In addition to the 200 ML Flight we recommend purchasing a 750 ML bottle of RD1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon for the ultimate tasting experience of our wood-finished flight. Here’s why: the RD1 portfolio is built around our blue label, Kentucky Straight Bourbon. From there, we pull certain barrels aside, remove the bung, place unique wood staves into the bourbon barrel, hammer the new bung back, and let the barrel rest for additional time.

> Blue Label: Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 98 proof
> Red Label: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished In French Oak, 101 proof
> Green Label: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Finished In Brazilian Amburana Wood, 110 proof
> Brown Label: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Double Finished With Oak and Maple Barrels, 99.9 proof

The end result is dramatic! The wood delicately dances with the bourbon to significantly influence the final expression. From the distinct aroma, to your first sip, to the surprising finish, you’ll be amazed at the natural nuances imparted on the bourbon from the wood alone. This Flight allows you to journey with RD1 to discover your palate preferences.

Wood Finishing: Early Explorers of South America
While Amburana is a commonly harvested tree in South America, this was a new find for a craft distilled spirits producer like us. Amburana is known as “Brazilian Oak” and often used in South America for making essential oils, crafting luxury furniture and barrel aging Brazil's most popular spirit, Cachaça.

Our partner cooperage uses a patented technique to honeycomb drill small holes into the Amburana staves, allowing more wood surface interaction with the Bourbon. After aging RD1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon for 4+ years, we insert the Amburana staves into the barrel. It doesn’t take long for Amburana’s character to beautifully influence the bourbon. The end result represents RD1's curiosity to learn, experience, explore.

The Experience: A Step Beyond Bourbon
The best of baking spices – apple cinnamon, nutmeg and light brown sugar – come alive on the nose and are followed by pine, vanilla, peaches and apricots. Flavor galore with spice cake, and ginger snaps in a rich mouthfeel. Try a drop of water to open up hints of herbal black tea, dark berry jam and pineapple pepper. Finish is long and warm, and ends with allspice and sweet oak.

The Craft: Exploring the Bourbon Frontier
In this Double Finish, we took French Oak staves (first finish) that were steeped in a patented process of pressure, oxygen, time and temperature with maple syrup (second finish). The molecular transfusion into the base fibers of the wood is wonderfully artistic and scientifically intense. Consistency is the driver here for flavor and texture.

After RD1 Spirit's Kentucky Straight Bourbon aged for 4+ years, we inserted the French Oak and Maple stave wood into the barrel for additional aging. The end result is like the best stack of pancakes you've ever had.

The Experience: A Dessert-Like Sipper
An undeniable burst of maple and butterscotch on the nose followed by lightly toasted caramel, roasted pecans and paprika. Its flavor boasts a delicate dance of maple goodness and black peppercorn spice. The finish is long, smooth and spicy with a light accent of toasted caramel at the end. Try this in an Old Fashioned but skip the simple syrup and just add more of this bourbon.

AWARDS

The Craft: Kentucky Through and Through
RD1 Spirit’s Straight Bourbon is distilled in Kentucky using 100% copper equipment, aged 4+ years in Kentucky and bottled in Kentucky. We use 100% Kentucky corn and local limestone well water in our sour mash (also non-chill filtered). This traditional mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye and 9% malted barley is a Bluegrass favorite for a reason.

The Packaging: Honoring the Past With Eyes Wide Open to the Future
RD1's custom glass bottle honors the first federally registered distillery in Lexington and the many brands it produced - the beautiful tree on the neck label is reminiscent of Ashland Distillery's old label and the glass lettering honors the Old William Tarr bottle. RD1's modern, concave bottle shape features the iconic horse farm fences of Lexington around the base in etched glass.

The Experience: Tried-and-True Lexington
This traditional Kentucky Straight Bourbon invites you in with delicious aromas of vanilla wafers and roasted almonds. When sipping, orange flavors are followed by honeyed caramel, herbal tea and peppery oak. A long, warm finish ends dry with a spicy hint of ginger and cinnamon.

TASTING NOTES

75% CORN | 21% RYE | 4% MALTED BARLEY

Day of the Dead, Día de los Muertos, is not, in fact, a morbid custom, nor is it only one day. Each year, in most countries that celebrate this 3,000 year-old Meso-American custom, it is divided between October 31st through November 2nd (please see our FAQ section for an explanation of how each day is celebrated).

“KAH” translates to “life” in the ancient Mayan language, and DoD is, in fact, is a celebration of lives lived.

Most common rituals
During the festival, private altars (ofrendas) are adorned with decorative skeletal images (calaveras) or stand-alone skulls (also called “sugar skulls”) and typically festooned with the traditional holiday flower—marigolds. It is thought the golden yellow-orange flower can act as a beacon to guide lost souls to the altar put there by their loved ones. Personal photographs and other colorful ornamentation and mementos are also placed on the ofrendas.

Traditions and rituals vary in countries that celebrate Día de los Muertos and can even differ within the same country. For instance, in Peru, La Diablada, the Dance of Satan (as depicted on our Reposado packaging), and only takes place in Puno. And in Bolivia, actual skulls are placed on ofrendas (as depicted in our Blanco packaging), and this ritual is held later, on November 8th.

The Kah Day of the Dead Tequila Gift Set features 50 ml bottles of distinct tequilas, packaged in vibrant skull-shaped containers inspired by Mexico’s iconic Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebration. This limited edition gift set highlights the traditional Mexican art and culture, with each bottle designed as a unique skull, symbolizing reverence for the departed.

The set typically includes a variety of tequila expressions, such as Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo, each offering a distinctive flavor profile. The Blanco delivers bright, clean agave notes, the Reposado adds depth with hints of oak from aging, and the Añejo brings a rich, smooth finish with caramel and vanilla undertones.

This gift set not only serves as a memorable present for tequila enthusiasts but also as a collector’s item due to its artistic presentation. It's a perfect way to celebrate the spirit of Mexican traditions while savoring premium tequila.
