RD1 Spirits is a brand that specializes in crafting impressive Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon. They aim to celebrate the firsts in our lives and honor those who were first to create, believe, and remove barriers. Just like the gutsy mavericks who built Lexington's first registered distillery in the late 1800s, RD1 was started in 2020 by modern-day entrepreneurs who have the spirit to dare, a quality possessed by all pioneers.

The brand has a rich history and vision. In 1865, the Ashland Distillery became the first federally registered distillery in Lexington, Kentucky, and was assigned the distinction of RD#1. RD1 Spirits was formed in 2020 by Lexington entrepreneurs who were inspired by the stories of these bourbon firsts, with the goal of keeping alive the historical charm and writing the next chapter.

Today, RD1 is part owner of the Western Kentucky Distilling Co., a $30-million distillery under construction, where their 8th-generation Master Distiller, Jacob Call, continues to handcraft their Bourbon portfolio. RD1 Spirits offers an immersive experience with their Tasting Room, where visitors can enjoy tastings, events, and signature cocktails. They also have a wide range of merchandise available.

Customers can buy their products online or book a tasting at their store. RD1 Spirits embodies the spirit of innovation and tradition, pushing the boundaries of what bourbon can be
