Woodford Double Double Oaked 2023 represents one of the most indulgent and highly anticipated entries in Woodford Reserve’s annual Distillery Series lineup. Building on the original Double Oaked bourbon, this expression is finished for an additional year in a second, custom‑crafted oak barrel that’s deeply toasted and lightly charred, amplifying the wood‑driven complexity and intensifying its flavor profile.
The result is a rich and layered bourbon with a deep roasted coffee bean color, inviting aromas of rich maple syrup, dark butterscotch, brittle caramel, bittersweet chocolate, burnt marshmallow, and sweet hickory smoke. On the palate, dried cherry and cranberry fruit notes mingle with blackberry jam and hints of ripe apple, while chai tea and warming clove spice add dimension to the experience. The finish is warm, drying, and long with lingering clove character making this a bold, dessert‑like bourbon for sipping neat or with a splash of water.
Released on January 18, 2023 at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, Woodford Double Oaked was available in small quantities with a two‑bottle per customer limit. The 375 mL bottle size and seasonal nature make it a collectible choice for enthusiasts and seasoned bourbon drinkers alike.
