Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon Whiskey
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked — Twice-Barreled Kentucky Bourbon
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is a Kentucky straight bourbon finished in a second oak barrel — bottled at 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV), 750mL. A richer, deeper take on the classic Woodford Reserve from the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky.
After full maturation in new charred oak, Double Oaked is transferred to a second barrel that is deeply toasted before a light char — a process that extracts extra soft, sweet oak character. The result is a bourbon of remarkable depth: dark fruit, caramel, and chocolate layered over Woodford's signature spice. A 2023 Double Gold medalist at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

- Nose: Rich dark fruit, caramel, sharp honey, chocolate, marzipan, and toasted oak.
- Palate: Full-bodied — vanilla, dark caramel, hazelnut, apple, fruit, and warm spices.
