Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Woodford County, Kentucky has released its highly-anticipated Distillery Series expression of Double Double Oaked Bourbon for 2025. The limited edition Double Double Oaked is a part of an annual series that celebrates Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall’s commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.
Available Now at the Distillery and Nationwide
Crowds are lining up now at the Woodford Reserve Distillery and 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,” said Woodford Reserve Distillery Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall.
“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.”

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.
Color: Roasted coffee bean
Aroma: A robust medley of rich maple syrup, dark butterscotch, brittle caramel, bittersweet chocolate, burnt marshmallow, and sweet hickory smoke notes dominate the nose.
Taste: Rich dried cherry and cranberry fruit swim in a blackberry jam brightened with hints of ripe apple. Chai tea and warming clove notes develop to spice up the palate.
Finish: Warm and drying with a lingering clove character.
The 2025 release comes in a larger bottle with a larger price. The 2025 release features a 700 ml bottle, presented at 90.4 proof, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $199.99.
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, NH, D.C. only) in the online store and at select Kentucky retailers.
