Versailles, KY (January 13, 2025) — For years, crowds have lined up at Woodford Reserve Distillery each winter chasing the most coveted and elusive product ever created by the iconic Kentucky distillery: Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked Bourbon.

Now, for the first time, Double Double Oaked is making its national debut at fine retailers and select domestic military exchange stores.

Originally launched as a member of the Distillery Series in 2015, this expression is one of the most sought-after bottles in American Whiskey.  The luxury expression is a testament to Woodford Reserve’s dedication to innovation and craftsmanship.

“Rare and revered, this handcrafted double-barreled bourbon has a deep richness, unlike any other American whiskey on the market,” Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall said. “Resting 5-7 years in the first barrel, then up to two years in a second barrel, this liquid features extraordinary flavor notes. It is unexpected and complex.”

The 700 ml bottle, presented at 90.4 proof, has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $199.99.

Double Double Oaked is handcrafted by finishing fully-mature Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon for an additional two years in a second, heavily toasted, lightly charred, new oak barrel (hence the name Double Double Oaked).

The extra time in the barrel creates a bourbon that is distinctly spicier than its original counterpart, which is known for its sweeter taste and finish.

A limited quantity of Double Double Oaked will be available at Woodford Reserve Distillery starting at 10 AM. EST on January 13. While supplies last, guests can purchase up to 2 bottles per person.  It will also be available for shipping in states where it is legal (KY, ND, NE, ND, D.C. only) in the online store at shop.woodfordreserve.com and at select Kentucky retailers.
