Woodford Reserve Rare Release Double Oaked XO is an exclusive bourbon whiskey crafted by the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Kentucky, USA. Initially introduced in 2019, this limited edition bourbon is highly coveted among enthusiasts.
This unique whiskey is a combination of two Woodford Reserve bourbons, both aged in fresh charred oak barrels. The first bourbon undergoes a 17-year aging process, while the second is aged for 7 years before being transferred to heavily toasted new oak barrels for further maturation.
The double maturation in the heavily toasted barrels infuses the whiskey with a luxuriously intricate flavor profile. Its aroma offers delightful notes of vanilla, caramel, and toffee, complemented by subtle hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is full-bodied and opulent, presenting flavors of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a gentle smokiness. The finish is long-lasting and comforting, with lingering sweetness and a touch of spice.
Bottled at 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV), this extraordinary bourbon comes in an elegantly designed bottle with a distinctive gold and black label, setting it apart from regular Woodford Reserve releases.
Woodford Reserve Rare Release Double Oaked XO is highly esteemed for its exceptional quality and complexity, making it an essential experience for bourbon aficionados in search of a distinctive and scarce expression.
