Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked Bourbon returns

Woodford Reserve has welcomed back its Double Double Oaked expression in the 2021 Winter Distillery Series.

The annual series is designed to celebrate Woodford Reserve's master distiller, Chris Morris, and his commitment to innovation and craftmanship for the brand. 

Double Double Oaked has built a strong following of Bourbon lovers over the years, with the 2021 bottling available in limited quantities at select Kentucky, US retailers.

This year's winter expression is also available at the Woodford Reserve distillery from 10am EDT on 27 January, where customers will be able to purchase up to four 375ml bottles. Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, the number of guests inside the distillery gift shop at any one time will be limited and facial coverings, temperature checks and social distancing will be required.

The 2021 expression is the result of finishing fully matured Woodford Reserve Double Oaked for an additional year in a second, heavily toasted, lightly charred, new oak barrel. The extra year of finishing given to this liquid has created a Bourbon that is distinctly spicier than its original counterpart.

Double Double Oaked is bottled at 45.2% ABV and has a recommended retail price of $49.99 (£36.40) for a 375ml bottle.

The new release comes as the super-premium Woodford Reserve Baccarat Edition goes on sale in the UK.
