Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon 750 ml

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked takes the standard Woodford Reserve Kentucky straight bourbon and re-barrels it into a second new oak cask that's deeply toasted but only lightly charred, pulling extra soft, sweet wood into the whiskey during a second maturation. Distilled from a mash of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley and bottled at 90.4 proof, it leans into dark fruit, caramel, hazelnut, and marzipan on the nose and palate, with a long, creamy finish of honeyed apple. It's a dessert-leaning bourbon with real structure behind the sweetness — a good fit for drinkers who find standard Woodford Reserve a little thin.

How to drink Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

Neat is the best way to catch the marzipan and honeyed apple before ice mutes them, though one large cube works if you want it colder without diluting fast. It also makes an Old Fashioned that needs little to no added sugar, since the whiskey brings its own sweetness from the second barrel.
