If you enjoy bourbon, you’re likely familiar with the term “double oak.” Woodford Reserve pioneered this concept, launching Double Double Oaked in 2015 as part of its limited Distillery Series.
Now, a decade later, this iconic bourbon, Woodford Reserve, is available in regular-sized bottles.
The term “double oaked” refers to bourbons that undergo a secondary maturation in new oak barrels, usually toasted or lightly charred. Double Double Oaked takes this technique further: the original Double Oaked bourbon is transferred to heavily toasted and lightly charred barrels for two years, creating a unique flavor profile.
Initially part of the distillery’s limited series, Double Double Oaked stood out for its intensity and complexity. Bold notes of caramel, cinnamon, spiced cider, and unexpected touches like Hubba Bubba bubblegum blend with a finish of cherry, orange, and toasted almond. According to Emeritus Master Distiller Chris Morris, this is the sweet spot of flavor before the wood begins to dominate the profile.
The success of this release has led to the development of other versions, such as a rye edition launched earlier. Morris and Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall plan to expand the line with new styles, always prioritizing quality and innovation.
Double Double Oaked is available for $200 per bottle at the distillery and on the official website for shipping to select states. For fans of Woodford Reserve or lovers of intense bourbons, this is an experience not to be missed. Additionally, the brand’s full range is available at specialty retailers and platforms like ReserveBar.
