Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked 2023 is a limited-edition, small-format masterpiece crafted for those who crave extra richness, depth, and dessert-like complexity. This 375 mL release from Woodford’s annual Distillery Series begins as the standard Double Oaked bourbon but receives a second, extended finishing in a deeply toasted, lightly charred oak barrel. The result is an amplified expression of sweet oak, silky caramel, and dark spice—crafted for connoisseurs.
