Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

$99.00
Overview
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 700ml

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked takes the classic Woodford bourbon through a second maturation in a fresh oak barrel. This second barrel is deeply toasted before a light char, developing additional sweetness and oak character. Rich caramel, vanilla, chocolate and honey lead into a long, creamy finish. For those who enjoy the standard Woodford Reserve, Double Oaked offers a richer expression of the same smooth style.

After initial ageing in charred new oak, it is finished in a second barrel that is deeply toasted and lightly charred.

What sets this bottle apart

Double Oaked uses a second new oak barrel that is deeply toasted and lightly charred after the bourbon's initial maturation in charred new oak. This two-barrel approach builds additional sweetness and oak character, complementing its caramel, vanilla, chocolate and honey notes.

Distillery Information

Woodford Reserve is made near Versailles in Kentucky, on a site where whiskey production dates back to 1812. It is one of the state's oldest distilleries and is owned by Brown-Forman. The bourbon combines whiskey from Woodford's copper pot stills with column-still whiskey from Brown-Forman. Double Oaked launched in 2012 and has become one of the most popular expressions in the Woodford range.
