Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked Bourbon Whiskey

Double Double Oaked is Woodford Reserve's dessert bourbon given twice the second barrel — about two years in a heavily toasted, lightly charred cask instead of Double Oaked's one — and VinePair scored the 2025 release 92, a darker, older, more complex take on Woodford. Woodford Reserve is Brown-Forman's showpiece distillery on Glenn's Creek in Versailles, Kentucky, distilling since 1812 on the site and running the only triple copper pot stills in bourbon; master distiller Elizabeth McCall took over from Chris Morris, who created Double Oaked in 2012 and made it the best-selling finished bourbon in America. Double Double Oaked takes Woodford's 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley bourbon, aged five to seven years, and rests it roughly two years in a second toasted-then-charred barrel — a distillery-only 375ml for years, now a limited 700ml at 90.4 proof. VinePair: dark caramel, vanilla nougat, and smoked maple syrup with apple peel and burnt peanut brittle on the nose; dark cocktail cherry, cinnamon, cocoa, white-chocolate peppermint bark, pineapple upside-down cake, and baked clove on the palate; and a long, fruity finish of table sugar and cinnamon. Honest note: Double Oaked is the bourbon that converts wine drinkers; this is the version for people who wanted it darker — for the Woodford collector and the after-dinner pour. Neat, after dinner. Woodford, double double oaked.
