Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon is a bold, full-bodied expression that elevates the classic Woodford profile through a unique second barreling process. After initial aging in a new charred oak barrel, it’s finished in a second, deeply toasted and lightly charred barrel—creating a rich, layered bourbon bursting with sweet oak and spice. This 750 mL bottle is a go-to for lovers of complex, dessert-like whiskey.
