WOODFORD COUNTY, Ky. — Woodford Reserve announced the re-release of its Double Double Oaked Bourbon expression.
This 2020 edition of their Double Double Oaked Bourbon is part of master distiller Chris Morris’ ongoing Distillery Series, an occasional drop of limited edition bottles that have, in the past, including 2017’s Pinot Noir Finished Rye and last year’s Five Wood.
The creation of this expression, which has been released in years past, is fairly straightforward: the distillers finish their fully mature Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon for an additional year in a second new oak barrel that has been heavily toasted and lightly charred.
According to Morris, in a prepared statement, that additional year “creates a bourbon that is distinctly spicier than its original counterpart, known for its sweeter taste and finish.” Official tasting notes for this expression are below.
