Why is Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked so popular?
It’s Woodford Reserve Double Oaked that has been aged for an additional year in a second, heavily toasted, lightly charred new oak barrel. The extra year gives it a spicier flavor than traditional Double Oaked, which is known for its sweeter taste and finish.
According to the tasting notes, the 2023 version of Double Double Oaked has a nose of rich maple syrup, dark butterscotch, brittle caramel, bittersweet chocolate, burnt marshmallow and sweet hickory smoke. On the palate, rich dried cherry and cranberry fruit swim in blackberry jam brightened with hints of ripe apple. Chai tea and warming close notes develop. The finish is warm and drying with a lingering clove character.
