Description
An ultra-limited and highly sought-after release, Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked 2026 takes the brands iconic Double Oaked profile to the next level. This expression undergoes a second maturation in a deeply toasted, lightly charred oak barrel and then is aged even longer, intensifying richness, depth, and complexity.
