The double-barreled process is a way for whiskey producers to add more flavor, character, age and complexity to their product without waiting for it to age longer. When you look down the whiskey or rum aisle right now, there’s a good chance you’ll find options that have been double-casked—a process where one barrel is emptied and another filled with a spirit that has already spent time in another barrel before being transferred into yet another one for secondary aging. (This practice also helps ensure consistency). This pack includes some of our favorite double-barreled whiskies. Enjoy them—just be careful not to indulge too much, or before you know it, you’ll be seeing double!

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon
This whiskey is made from 72% Corn, 18% Rye, 10% Malted Barley mash that’s been aged in new oak barrels for about 10 years before being transferred to second-use barrels for about 7 months—that’s where the double aging magic happens!

Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky
The 1910 stands out from all other Old Forester expressions because it’s double-barreled, giving it a more intense, woodier aroma and flavor than the rest of the range. A fire halted the bottling line at the Old Forester distillery in Louisville, Kentucky caused a batch of whiskey to sit waiting for bottles. The fine folks at Old Forester decided to simulate this flavor by using secondary barrels that were charred far beyond what we usually see. Aged for 12 years and bottled at 47% alcohol by volume (93 proof), the result is an exceptionally smooth drink with lots of flavor.

Heaven’s Door Double Barrel Whiskey
A blend of three unique whiskeys that are aged, blended, then mingled together in hand-toasted American Oak barrels to bring together the depth of flavor required to bear the name Heaven’s Door. The result? A deliciously spirit that feels like it melts in your mouth with each sip. This truly is one of the best whiskies on the market today. If you’re looking for something different than your usual single malt scotch or bourbon, we highly recommend giving it a try!
