2016 Woodford Reserve Distillery Series Double Double Oaked Straight Bourbon Whiskey 375ml

Description

Woodford Reserve 2016 Distillery Series Double Double Oaked Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 90.4 Proof by the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky. Bottled in late 2016 and officially released in January 2017, this expression utilizes the distillery’s core triple-distilled copper pot still mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley. After a primary maturation of 5 to 7 years in new charred white oak barrels inside heat-cycled brick warehouses, the spirit is transferred to a secondary finishing container.

While the standard Double Oaked finishes for a single year, this specific Double Double Oaked expression remains in the separate, heavily toasted and flash-charred new oak barrel for a full 24 months. This extended contact timeline doubles the wood exposure, forcing a concentrated extraction of heavy wood spice, deep dark chocolate, clove, burnt caramel, and dry oak tannins.
