There aren’t many Kentucky distilleries more beloved than Woodford Reserve. From its classic Kentucky Straight Bourbon to its limited releases, it’s the type of distillery that seems to produce nothing but notable expressions. One of its most sought-after limited-release whiskey is Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked Bourbon.

First released as a member of the Distillery Series in 2015, this beloved whiskey has been hard to find and highly coveted for years. It was never available nationwide—that is, until now.

Previously, if you wanted a bottle of Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked, you had to line up at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, when it was released in minimal quantities each winter. This iconic expression is available nationally at select retailers for the first time since its first release.

Woodford Reserve Double Double Oak gets its name because after completely maturing in charred oak, it spends another two years in a second, heavily toasted, lightly charred new oak barrel. The result is a complex, spicy whisky that begins (according to the brand) with a nose of maple syrup, butterscotch, caramel, dark chocolate, toasted marshmallows, and hickory smoke. The palate is a symphony of dried cherries, cranberries, blackberry jam, orchard fruits, chai tea, and gentle wintry spices. The finish is dry and warming and ends with more spice character.

“Rare and revered, this handcrafted double-barreled bourbon has a deep richness, unlike any other American whiskey on the market,” Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall said in a press release. “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.”

Located in Versailles, Kentucky, Woodford Reserve is a distillery that seems to release nothing but noteworthy whiskeys. Its newest Distillery Series expression is no exception. That's because this limited-edition whiskey was finished in barrels that previously held Tawny Port wine.

To say that the creation of this whiskey is complicated is an understatement. Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall begins with a blend of rye whiskey and bourbon, which is then blended with a bourbon finished in Tawny Port barrels.

If you're a whiskey drinker, you know what a big deal it is when Michter's releases one of its annual expressions. This time, it's the award-winning, fan-favorite Michter's 10-Year Kentucky Straight Rye.

If you didn't know it already, Michter's takes a unique aging approach. It's not just matured for ten years, and it's ready to go. Instead, the whiskey isn't allowed to be bottled until it reaches a specific flavor profile. It's not ready for consumers until Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee and Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson say so. That said, even though this beloved expression that "10 Year", it likely spent a little longer in the barrel.
