Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is a Kentucky straight bourbon finished a second time in a freshly toasted and lightly charred oak barrel. That second barrel pulls out soft, sweet oak, vanilla and caramel notes that sit on top of the brand's standard bourbon. It is richer and sweeter than the regular Woodford Reserve, and heavier than most entry-level bourbons, so it suits drinkers who want a dessert-leaning sipper rather than a light mixer. Owners rate it highly and often call it a step up from the standard bottle, though some find the oak and sweetness too much for everyday drinking.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is a twice-barreled bourbon. It is matured in two separate charred oak barrels. The second barrel is deeply toasted and then lightly charred, which brings out additional soft, sweet oak character.
It is deep amber in color. The aroma has notes of dark fruit, caramel, sharp honey, chocolate, marzipan and toasted oak. The taste is full-bodied, with vanilla, dark caramel, hazelnut, apple, fruit and spices. The finish is long and creamy, with lingering hints of honeyed apple.
