The Wooden Cork Barrel Select takes that process one step further — instead of the standard blended batch of Double Oaked, this is a single barrel selection, presenting one specific cask's character rather than the averaged profile of multiple barrels blended for consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle barrel Double Oaked expressions vary from the standard batch in the same way any single barrel varies from its blended counterpart: more barrel-specific character, less averaging, and the individual maturation history of one particular cask's warehouse position, temperature cycling, and wood interaction coming through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, dark chocolate, and toasted vanilla — the concentrated sweetness of Double Oaked's second barrel on full display\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied with baked apple, toasted oak, and warm baking spices; the single barrel character adds assertiveness and individuality beyond the standard Double Oaked batch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and velvety with lingering sweetness and charred oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woodford Reserve Distillery, Versailles, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Double Oaked — Single Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twice-barreled: initial new charred oak aging, then finished in a deeply toasted, lightly charred second barrel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSelection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wooden Cork private barrel select\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.2% (90.4 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/woodford-reserve\"\u003eWoodford Reserve collection at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does a single barrel Double Oaked differ from the standard Double Oaked?\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard Double Oaked blends multiple barrels for a consistent batch profile.
