Versailles, Kentucky – For years, bourbon enthusiasts have flocked to the Woodford Reserve Distillery each winter in pursuit of its most coveted and elusive creation: Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked Bourbon.
Now, for the first time, this highly sought-after expression is making its national debut, available at fine retailers and select domestic military exchange stores.
Introduced in 2015 as part of the Distillery Series, Double Double Oaked has become a standout in American whiskey, celebrated for its innovation and craftsmanship.
“Rare and revered, this handcrafted double-barreled bourbon delivers a richness unmatched by any other American whiskey,” said Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall. “Aged for 5–7 years in its initial barrel and up to two additional years in a heavily toasted, lightly charred second barrel, this bourbon offers extraordinary, unexpected, and complex flavor notes.”
Presented in a 700 ml bottle at 90.4 proof, Double Double Oaked has a suggested retail price of $199.99. The bourbon’s extended aging process creates a spicier profile compared to its original Double Oaked counterpart, which is known for its sweeter flavor and finish.
Double Double Oaked will be available in limited quantities starting at 10 a.m. EST on January 13 at the Woodford Reserve Distillery. Guests can purchase up to two bottles per person while supplies last. It will also be available for online shipping in select states (KY, ND, NE, D.C.) through the Woodford Reserve online store at shop.woodfordreserve.com and at select Kentucky retailers.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Roasted coffee bean
Aroma: Bold notes of rich maple syrup, dark butterscotch, brittle caramel, bittersweet chocolate, burnt marshmallow, and sweet hickory smoke.
Taste: Layers of rich dried cherry and cranberry mingle with blackberry jam, brightened by hints of ripe apple. Chai tea and warming clove spice add complexity to the palate.
Finish: Warm and drying with a lingering clove character.
This release is a testament to Woodford Reserve’s commitment to pushing boundaries and crafting exceptional whiskey experiences.
