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.
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.
