Woodford has announced the limited release of the 2021 Double Double Oaked bourbon, available exclusively at the Woodford Distillery (limit 2 per person) starting February 1. New this year is a sweepstakes for people who can't make it to the distillery on opening day (more on that below).
Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked starts in standard new oak barrels and finished in heavy toasted new oak barrels. This results in a bourbon that is spicier in character than Woodford Reserve Double Oaked.
As mentioned above, there is also a sweepstakes to have the opportunity to purchase one bottle at the distillery for those who can’t make it to the release (which is all of us since it was yesterday). The sweepstakes is open from January 31, 2022 at 9 AM ET through 11:59 PM ET on February 8, 2022. Winners will be notified by email on or about February 10, 2022. Prize will be available to be collected from February 10, 2022, through April 10, 2022 at 5:00 PM ET. You can enter the sweepstakes at this link. MSRP is $49.99.
My Take
I actually picked up a bottle of the Double Double Oaked the last time I visited the Woodford Distillery years ago. My plan is to do a review at some point comparing it to regular Woodford and Woodford Double Oaked. If you are planning a trip to Kentucky before April 10th, I think it's worth an entry to the sweepstakes, and if you see this at the Distillery, I'd recommend picking it up.
