Woodford Reserve is opening national sweepstakes, with the winners earning a chance to purchase a coveted bottle of this year’s annual Double Double Oaked Bourbon release.

Two hundred Winners will be selected on Feb. 10. Once selected, winners will have until April 10 to buy a bottle for $49.99. Individuals 21 and older may register from 9 a.m. ET Feb. 1 through 11:59 p.m. Feb. 8. Those interested may register here.

The prize will be available to be collected during regular business hours at the Woodford Reserve Distillery Gift Shop, in Versailles, Kentucky, from Feb. 10 until 5 p.m. eT April 10. Winners will need to present an ID that matches the first and last name and date of birth of the submitted entry.

A limited quantity of Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked Bourbon will be available at the Woodford Reserve Distillery on Feb. 1, limited to two bottles per person. Limited quantities also will be available at select Kentucky retailers.

This year’s release of Double Double Oaked Bourbon is bottled at 90.4 proof.

Woodford’s Double Double Oaked is named such because it is aged an additional year in a second, heavily toasted, lightly charred oak barrel, resulting in a spicier final product, according to Woodford Reserve.

“Double Double Oaked has such a cult following, which makes it very difficult for consumers to get their hands,” master distillery Chris Morris said in a news release. “This sweepstakes will allow more of our fans to have the chance to try this special release.”
