Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon Whiskey
750mL | 90.4 Proof (45.2% ABV) | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Versailles, Kentucky
Process & Profile
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is a richly layered Kentucky straight bourbon that undergoes a unique second aging process in a deeply toasted, lightly charred oak barrel. The first maturation follows the standard Woodford Reserve profile—crafted in copper pot stills and aged in new charred oak barrels—before being transferred to a second barrel, which enhances depth, richness, and complexity.
