Overview
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is a twice-barreled Kentucky straight bourbon from Woodford Reserve Distillery. It starts with the brand’s flagship bourbon profile and then receives a second maturation in a separate barrel that is heavily toasted and lightly charred.
The result is a richer, sweeter, and more dessert-leaning Woodford Reserve expression. Double Oaked has become one of the most popular finished-style bourbons in the premium American whiskey category.
Brand History
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked expanded the brand beyond its flagship bourbon while staying closely tied to the same core flavor framework. Its success helped introduce many drinkers to secondary barrel finishing in bourbon.
The expression also paved the way for related limited releases such as Double Double Oaked, which extends the double-oaked concept further through additional finishing time or special release treatment.
