An innovative approach to twice-barreled bourbon creates the rich and colorful flavor of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Uniquely matured in separate, charred oak barrels – the second barrel deeply toasted before a light charring – extracts additional soft, sweet oak character.
Woodford Reserve Description
Rich notes of dark fruit, caramel, sharp honey, chocolate, marzipan and toasted oak. A full-bodied mix of vanilla, dark caramel, hazelnut, apple, fruit and spices. Long and creamy with lingering hints of honeyed apple.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
After the usual aging time, this Bourbon is then moved to a heavily-toasted, lightly-charred barrel to extract additional oak flavor. The end result is deep amber in the glass, with bright spice cake and baked apple fragrance. On the palate, it's lightly sweet at first, showing creamy caramel, but finishes dry, with touches of espresso, oak and baking chocolate. Overall, a bold, flavorful sipper.
Whisky Advocate: 90 Points
The nose is a sweet treat, resplendent with maple syrup, brown sugar, wood spice, toasted marshmallow, vanilla frosting, and creamed corn. More sweetness on the palate, which is rich with cocoa powder, chocolate-covered cherries, cherry cola, and more marshmallow. Toasted oak, cinnamon spice, and black cherry are prominent on the finish, which isn’t the longest but is certainly decadent and tasty.
