Woodford Reserve recently announced the nationwide launch of Double Double Oaked bourbon, a unique expression matured for two extra years in a secondary barrel. This bourbon stems from a growing trend in whiskey production where spirits are finished in multiple barrels to enhance complexity. Initially founded in 1812, Woodford Reserve has a rich history of experimentation, illustrated by their Master's Collection. Double Double Oaked represents their creative evolution, aimed at providing whiskey lovers with a more nuanced and intriguing bourbon experience.
The genesis for Double Double Oaked began in 2006 when the Versailles, KY, distillery...introduced the Master's Collection to show off its bourbon-making creativity.
Double Double Oaked is a continuation of a growing trend in the American brown spirits business of finishing a whiskey for additional time in a second barrel.
We were just trying different things to sell and have more stories written about Woodford Reserve, says Master Distiller Emeritus Chris Morris.
Double Double takes that Double Oaked expression and adds two extra years in another barrel, hence the double double and a spirit that's more complex.
