Woodford Reserve Labrot & Graham Double Oaked Bourbon Whiskey

The release of Woodford Reserve’s Double Oaked was arguably the most hotly awaited event in bourbon whiskey for the last several years. While Woodford Reserve has released some limited editions in the past, until now Woodford’s popular small batch remained the sole regular product in distillery’s line. In fact, Labrot and Graham was for some time the only major small batch-making distillery that still had only one whiskey in regular production. In it’s limited edition series, Woodford Reserve began experimenting with a scotch-making idea, that of finishing their whiskey in a different type of barrel for several months. The Maple Finish, for example, put the distillery’s bourbon into specially-constructed, toasted maple wood barrels for a second round of aging, in much the same way that a scotch distillery might finish its product in old bourbon or sherry casks. One of those limited editions was a seasoned oak cask finish bourbon, which was so popular that it led to the introduction of the Double Oaked. The finishing barrel is fashioned from oak, and receives twice the toasting of the standard Woodford Reserve barrel, before then being lightly charred. Brown-Forman takes their barrels very seriously, so much so that they own their own cooperage, and the result of all this tinkering is a barrel with a markedly different character from the normal Woodford Reserve cask, in which the bourbon receives an extra several month’s worth of polishing, thereby changing the character.
