About this whisky
Woodford Reserve's Double XO Blend is a Kentucky bourbon built around extended maturation, blending whiskies for added depth and complexity beyond the standard release. It carries the distillery's signature approach of small-batch, deliberate blending.
Expect a rich, layered pour with dried fruit, baking spice and toasted oak, finishing long and warm. Serve neat or over a single large ice cube after dinner, ideal for slow sipping on deck once the sun goes down.
