Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
90.4 proof 5–7 years in first barrel, up to 12 months in second barrel Bourbon Woodford Reserve 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley

Sweet aromatics-forward with vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, and maple syrup prominent. Dark fruit notes, spice, wood character, and grain notes also present but less assertive than the sweet aromatics.

Concentration of sweetness upfront on the palate. Viscous and oily with excellent coating properties. Brown sugar, butter, and vanilla reminiscent of cookie dough. Sweet aromatics dominate while darker fruit and spice notes reveal themselves on deeper exploration.

Long and syrupy with brown sugar, butter, and vanilla lingering pleasantly. The finish is designed to be savored, leaving a familiar and comforting flavor profile that invites another sip.

Overall Score
4.6 / 5
A deliberately designed dessert bourbon that showcases the power of couture barreling, with pronounced sweetness and viscosity that makes it exceptional for sipping neat or pairing with food and desserts.
