First introduced in 2015 as part of the Woodford Reserve Distillery Series, the coveted Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked is making a return, now available at select retailers across the United States. This exceptional bourbon sold out within hours during its initial release as a distillery exclusive, cementing its status as a rare collector’s item.
What Makes Double Double Oaked So Special?
- Double-Barreled Process: The bourbon begins its journey as the fully-matured Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, which is then aged for an additional two years in a second new oak barrel that’s heavily toasted and lightly charred.
- Complex Flavor Profile: The extended maturation in new oak imparts spicier, more robust flavors compared to the sweeter notes of the original Double Oaked, offering a richer, more complex taste experience.
- Master Distiller’s Insight: Elizabeth McCall, the master distiller at Woodford Reserve, describes it as “rare and revered” with deep richness and unexpected complexity, featuring flavors that set it apart from other American whiskeys.
Taste & Aroma:
- Nose: Maple syrup, butterscotch, bittersweet chocolate, and burnt marshmallow.
- Palate: Dried cherry and cranberry, blackberry jam, chai tea, clove, and ripe apple.
Details:
- ABV: 45.2% (typical of most Woodford Reserve expressions).
- Price: US$200 for a 700ml bottle.
- Availability: Limited quantities available starting 13 January at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky. Customers can purchase up to two bottles each while supplies last. Additionally, it is available for shipping to select states including Kentucky, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, and Washington DC through the Woodford Reserve website.
