It's finally here - the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. This expression begins life being aged in the same way as the classic Woodford Reserve, but following this, it is further matured in barrels which have been heavily toasted and lightly charred. This imparts an added depth of sweet oaken character to the bourbon, as well as developing the fruit, vanilla and caramel notes.

I'm a regular malt guy and appreciate style from most peaty Lagavulin to the smoothness Belvenie. I avoid Bourbon for years as it always too sweet for my liking. My view of Bourbon has changed now. My tasting note: Intensely caramelized with hint of liquorice and dried fruit on the nose. A drier style with light citrus and oak finishing.It's a game changer for Woodford... It's ready to reach malt whiskey segment. This is my personal opinion only. There's no single taste for everyone; there also someone who likes a taste.

Go for the normal Woodford. Don’t bother with this one.

I got this last night because I wanted a decent bourbon. And I have to say it is quite nice. It has a nice strong flavour. It is very smooth to drink and it's a quality bottle of bourbon. If you like bourbon, I recommend this to you. Even if you don't, you've got to try it at least. It smells quite good too. And this is my staple bourbon for now.

It tastes like oak. Charred oak. The tannin content will make you pucker and you’ll taste acidy tannic oak on your cheeks fot a prolonged period. The rest is just hype IMHO. The regular Woodford is my go to bourbon. The double-oakef just takes up shelf space. And no more ne ever asks to try it twice.

Comparing this to the normal Woodford, the slight spicy kick has been displaced by a heavier sweetness, a sweetness that's been cranked up to 11. I would assume comes from the second oaking. It's a pleasant sweetness nonetheless. A nice sipping bourbon.

This is my go to when it comes to bourbon. The price point is not too high, and it’s a great conversation piece for people who would normally shun any type of bourbon. This is always stocked on my bar and I highly highly recommend that you give it a try.

Before I tried it, I preferred cognac!The best American whiskey I've ever tried!

Extremely smooth!

No doubt the best!
I have tried nearly every scotch, and every American whisky. This is the one that I buy by the case. I was able to obtain several bottles of pappy van winkle before prices went through the roof, and believe it or not, I prefer this.

I love regular Woodford Reserve, but this expression is by far the worst mainstream >$30 bottle I have ever had. On the tip of the nose you get intense oak. At first sip, more intense oak and then finishes with more intense oak. It tastes like Woodford forgot about some barrels for far too long and then called it Double Oak so they could sell it. Finishing casks should bring new layers if flavor, not reinforce one dimensionality.

The first time I had it I was blown away by the strong oak and vanilla flavor. I started craving it and went out and bought my own bottle. Fantastic value.

I've tried all the KY burbouns, this is my favorite. Smooth and sweet the perfect combo for me.

I read some reviews on this and thought I might give it a try. My brother was on a trip abroad because of work, and I asked him to buy this for me at travel retail. He did. Was a bit concerned cause it was a one liter bootle. Thought it might be to much to consume, and I am also more of a malt fan. My oh my, I was wrong. I have not tried a bourbon for at least 25 years. This is absolutely stunning. Now I am glad it is a one liter bootle, because it will be empty too soon. Recommended. John

Fantastic addition to the drinks cabinet, I always seem to push the other stuff aside
I went out for dinner lastnight and saw this on the list, on a whim I ordered a double. I was extremely surprised by how good it was. I would highly recommend this drink, and as a matter of fact I plan on picking up a bottle myself really soon.

Very smooth . One of the best bourbons I've ever had.

Absolutely beautiful bit of swallee

I'm a whisky fan, but this bourbon is one of the best things I have ever consumed. So smooth, full of flavours and you can easily feel the vanilla and caramel notes. Amazing.

Smooth and rich.

I had my suspicions that this was a bit of a marketing gimmick. But after having tasted it a few times now, and spent some time at a masterclass with a rep from Bacardi, who was also showcasing this stuff, this is above and beyond the quality of the standard Woodford Reserve. It's so smooth and almost syrup like in the mouth, there is little to no burn and it tastes so sweet and delicious, like burnt caramel infused with tree bark (pretentious depiction, I know, but that's what whiskey is all about). Very nice whiskey indeed, 9/10.

Great taste and one of the smoothest bourbons I have tasted!

I always keep a bottle of this around, as the cravings come often.
