Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked Bourbon – 750 mL
Overview
Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked is a highly sought-after, limited-release bourbon that takes the iconic Double Oaked expression even further. After its initial maturation, the bourbon is transferred into a second, heavily toasted and lightly charred oak barrel — then aged again for an extended period, intensifying its richness and complexity. The result is an ultra-luxurious, dessert-like bourbon with deep layers of caramel, vanilla, and oak, making it one of the most coveted releases from Woodford Reserve.
🥃 Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and indulgent aromas of dark caramel, vanilla bean, toasted marshmallow, and oak. Notes of maple syrup, baking spice, and roasted nuts add depth.
-
Palate: Full-bodied and velvety. Expect intense flavors of caramelized sugar, butterscotch, chocolate, and toasted oak. Mid-palate reveals cinnamon spice, dark fruit, and creamy vanilla with a dessert-like richness.
