“Rare and revered, this handcrafted double-barreled bourbon has a deep richness, unlike any other American whiskey on the market. Resting 5-7 years in the first barrel, then up to two years in a second barrel, this liquid features extraordinary flavor notes. It is unexpected and complex.” ~ Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall
Bottled at 90.4 proof it has a MSRP of $199.99.

The term Double Double Oaked comes from the fact that it is made by hand by finishing fully mature Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon for two more years in a second, heavily toasted, mildly charred, new oak barrel. Compared to its original counterpart, which is renowned for its sweeter taste and finish, the bourbon produced by the additional time in the barrel is noticeably spicier.
On January 13, starting at 10 AM EST, Woodford Reserve Distillery will sell a limited amount of Double Double Oaked. Visitors may buy up to two bottles each while supplies last. In areas where marijuana is legal (KY, ND, NE, NH, and D.C. only), it will also be sold online at shop.woodfordreserve.com and from a few Kentucky stores.
