Woodford Reserve Double Oak barrels undergo double maturation: first in traditionally charred oak, then in a second barrel that has been extra heavily toasted and re-charred. This imparts deep notes of vanilla, toasted coconut, caramel, and oak, which blend perfectly with the intense baking chocolate flavor of our triple mash stout. A rare barrel, a rich flavor—just what you want to end the year with. The French whisky barrels bring a soft complexity to the blend. You can taste notes of ripe plums, raisins, and a hint of leather—subtle, elegant, and deep. This aromatic layering balances beautifully with the rich chocolate base of the stout and elevates the blend to a refined, festive level.
