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 whiskey, as well as developing the fruit, vanilla and caramel notes.
Black cherries, toffee, dark chocolate, honey and toasted almonds.
Rich and full with notes of baked apples, cinnamon, cloves and caramel.
Creamy and smooth with vanilla and baking spices.
If you’re on a quest something new, look no further. As other reviewers mention, the double oak brings out delightful vanilla and caramel notes. Excellent for Fall and Winter.
Woodford has always been my bourbon of choice . The double oak clearly I's the next step for true bourbon conisscuer
I love Woodford. Not sure if this is better or worse than the reserve. Very Oakey. A bit piney. Very flavoursome, but a bit like the oak was lacquered.
Best bourbon I've ever tasted. Fantastic!
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.
