Double Double Oaked

Woodford Reserve has announced the return of its Double Double Oaked Bourbon.

On Wednesday, Kentucky whiskey distillery Woodford Reserve announced the annual return of its Double Double Oaked Bourbon. The whiskey returns as part of Woodford’s 2023 Winter Distillery Series, which the distillery said in a news release “celebrates Master Distiller Chris Morris’ commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.”

The bourbon was made available at the Woodford Reserve Distillery at 10 a.m. ET Wednesday. Customers are limited to two 375-milliliter bottles. The bourbon will also be available in limited quantities at select Kentucky retailers.

“We are excited to once again offer one of our most-coveted annual bourbon releases,” Morris said in the news release. “This is the perfect winter bourbon with tasting notes of burnt marshmallows, cranberry and bittersweet chocolate.”

To make Double Double Oaked Bourbon, Woodford Reserve finishes its Double Oaked Bourbon for an additional year in a second heavily toasted, lightly charred new oak barrel. The distillery says the extra year in the oak gives the bourbon a spicier flavor.

Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked is bottled at 90.4 proof and sells for a suggested retail price of $59.99 per 375-milliliter bottle.
