Prepare to indulge in the return of Woodford Reserve’s Double Double Oaked Bourbon for 2026. With its highly anticipated arrival in stores, fans are eager to get their hands on one of the most sought-after bottles in American whiskey.
Originally launched in 2015 as part of the Distillery Series, the Double Double Oaked Bourbon has garnered a devoted following over the past decade for its rich complexity. This luxury expression showcases Woodford Reserve’s dedication to innovation and craftsmanship by taking fully mature Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon and finishing it for an additional two years in a second new oak barrel.
The 90.4-proof bourbon features a mash bill of 72 percent corn, 18 percent rye, and 10 percent malted barley. It boasts a deep roasted coffee bean color and a robust medley of aromas including rich maple syrup, dark butterscotch, bittersweet chocolate, and sweet hickory smoke. The taste is described as a blend of dried cherry, cranberry, and blackberry with hints of ripe apple, chai tea, and warming clove, finishing with a warm, drying, spicy character.
This extra time in the barrel results in a distinctly spicier profile compared to the original Double Oaked Bourbon, offering unexpected and complex flavor notes. Fans have praised it as a step up from the original, although some note that the price may be a bit steep.
Woodford Reserve’s Double Double Oaked is available in a 700mL bottle with a retail price of $199.99 at select retailers and military exchange stores across the country. It can also be purchased at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, for a limited time while supplies last.
