Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
About this product
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked undergoes two separate maturation periods: first in standard new charred American white oak, then a second maturation in deeply toasted, lightly charred new white oak barrels. The second barrel — toasted for longer at lower temperature — extracts maximum wood sugars (vanillin, caramel polymers) without the bitter tannin of full charring. The result is the most vanilla-rich, chocolate-intense, caramel-saturated bourbon in standard production — a dessert in a glass. Consistently 94-96 points from major competitions.
