Double Oaked Rye, released under the distillery's Barrel Finish Select designation, applies that same signature technique to Kentucky straight rye whiskey for the first time as a core finished expression, a genuinely different move for a distillery best known for applying this method to bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAfter its initial maturation, the rye whiskey is finished in a second new oak barrel, heavily toasted to develop caramelized, sweet-oak depth, and lightly charred to add structure without masking the rye's naturally spicy, herbal character. Selected by Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall, the result layers dark caramel, roasted nuts, coffee, dried fruit, and chocolate over rye's signature spice, a richer, more robust take on Woodford Rye than the standard release. It's the extra barrel, not a higher proof, that sets this apart: both the standard Woodford Rye and this Double Oaked expression are bottled at 90.4 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCrafted at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark in Versailles, Kentucky, and part of the Brown-Forman family of whiskeys alongside Old Forester and Jack Daniel's, Double Oaked Rye is a genuinely limited release for rye drinkers curious what Woodford's signature finishing technique brings to a rye base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seasoned leather, aromatic cedar, dark fruit, toasted nuts, chocolate, and sweet oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm baking spice, roasted coffee, dark fruit, rye spice, toasted nuts, and rich oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and layered, with dark caramel, molasses, dried fruit, toasted oak, and lingering spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWoodford Reserve Double Oaked Rye's dark fruit and roasted coffee character pairs beautifully with equally rich fare.
