Woodford Reserve - Double Oaked Bourbon is produced in the United States using a mash bill built around grains such as corn, rye, and malted barley. The mash is cooked and fermented before being distilled, often in copper column or pot stills.

Maturation takes place in new, charred American oak barrels, where seasonal temperature swings drive spirit deep into the wood, extracting color and complexity. Warehouse management and barrel selection are critical, with blenders assembling lots that best represent balance and structure.

The result is a whiskey shaped by grain, oak, and time, reflecting both traditional craft and rigorous quality control.

Woodford Reserve - Double Oaked Bourbon is an exceptionally rich and intensely flavorful Kentucky Straight Bourbon, distinguished by its unique aging process where it's finished in a second, deeply toasted, new oak barrel. On the nose, it offers an opulent and deeply aromatic bouquet of heavy cream, dark caramel, and rich maple syrup, beautifully intertwined with notes of sweet vanilla bean, toasted marshmallows, and candied pecan. Further exploration reveals hints of dark chocolate, dried dark fruits like fig and prune, and a profound sweetness balanced by delicate baking spices like cinnamon and allspice. The palate is extraordinarily smooth, full-bodied, and incredibly luscious, delivering an explosion of sweet, decadent flavors. Rich caramel, butterscotch, and chocolate fudge lead the way, followed by layers of vanilla cream, toasted oak, and a warm, inviting spice. The texture is velvety and almost chewy, coating the mouth with unparalleled richness. The finish is exceptionally long, warm, and profoundly sweet, lingering with notes of dark caramel, toasted oak, and a creamy, lingering vanilla spice.
This intensely rich and sweet bourbon is designed for sipping and savoring, best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to slowly unlock its profound complexity. For food pairings, its indulgent sweetness and robust oak character make it a superb companion for the richest desserts and deeply savory, caramelized dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate lava cake, pecan pie, crème brûlée, or a decadent bread pudding, where its caramel, vanilla, and toasted notes find perfect harmony. For savory pairings, consider slow-smoked barbecue ribs with a sweet glaze, roasted pork belly, or even a very rich, aged blue cheese, where the saltiness can provide a delightful contrast to the bourbon's profound sweetness. It's a magnificent digestif, offering a truly luxurious and satisfying end to a fine meal.

Woodford Reserve

Woodford Reserve is one of Kentucky’s most distinguished bourbon brands, produced at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky. The distillery’s roots trace back to 1812, making it one of the oldest working distilleries in the United States and a designated National Historic Landmark. Though ownership has changed over time, today it operates under Brown-Forman, one of the most respected names in American spirits.

The brand has built its reputation on craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation. Unlike many distilleries that rely solely on column stills, Woodford Reserve uses a combination of copper pot stills and column stills, giving its bourbon a layered complexity. The whiskey is aged in new charred American oak barrels and matured in unique limestone warehouses where Kentucky’s climate—with hot summers and cold winters—shapes the whiskey’s deep flavor profile.

Woodford Reserve is known for its focus on balance and complexity. The distillery highlights more than 200 detectable flavor notes in its bourbon, ranging from rich dried fruit and vanilla to spice, cocoa, and nutty undertones. Beyond its flagship Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Woodford has expanded into a family of expressions, including Double Oaked, Rye, Malt, and Master’s Collection limited editions, each showcasing a different aspect of whiskey-making artistry.

As the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby, Woodford Reserve has become synonymous with tradition, elegance, and American heritage. Every bottle reflects the distillery’s commitment to quality and its place at the heart of Kentucky bourbon culture.
