Originally launched as a member of the Distillery Series in 2015, Double Double Oaked has earned a devoted following for its deep richness and complexity. The luxury expression is a testament to Woodford Reserve's dedication to innovation and craftsmanship.
"This handcrafted double-barreled bourbon is beloved," said Elizabeth McCall, Master Distiller, Woodford Reserve. "Resting 5-7 years in the first barrel, then up to two years in a second barrel, this liquid features extraordinary flavor notes. It is unexpected and complex."
Double Double Oaked is handcrafted by finishing fully mature Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon for an additional two years in a second, heavily toasted, lightly charred, new oak barrel—hence the name Double Double Oaked. The extra time in the barrel creates a bourbon that is distinctly spicier than its original counterpart, which is known for its sweeter taste and finish.
The 700 ml bottle, presented at 90.4 proof, has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $199.99.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: Roasted coffee bean
- Aroma: A robust medley of rich maple syrup, dark butterscotch, brittle caramel, bittersweet chocolate, burnt marshmallow, and sweet hickory smoke
- Taste: Rich dried cherry and cranberry fruit swim in blackberry jam, brightened with hints of ripe apple. Chai tea and warming clove notes develop to spice up the palate.
- Finish: Warm and drying with a lingering clove character
A limited quantity of Double Double Oaked will be available at Woodford Reserve Distillery starting at 10 AM EST on January 14. While supplies last, guests can purchase up to 2 bottles per person. It will also be available for shipping in states where it is legal (KY, ND, NE, NH, D.C. only) via shop.woodfordreserve.com and at select Kentucky retailers.
