Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon & Rye (The SFWTC Barrel Selections) Double Review

The one and only Bastard Rap Jason Chow supplies two unique bottlings of Woodford Reserve to the Vault. Rex and Daniel compare to their regular expressions and discuss whiskey space flight.
Thanks to Jason Chow for the bottles! Cheers you MB!

Woodford reserve double oak is my favorite! So so good! Getting another bottle today

[@Sismodium]

Hello from Denmark! I have just bought a bottle of Double Oaked. this is probably one of my all time favourite Bourbons. Thanks for doing the review.

[@tabularasa820]

Woodford Double Oaked is my favorite whiskey. I am not a skilled taster, but it brings me joy every time I drink it.

[@nobodyimportant5417]

Whiskey spankings. Rex, please stop beating the whiskey, at least until they are 18 years old.

That ease of entry for the Woodford rye is what got me into the ryes and another friend of mine into rye as well. It's a great starting point for just getting into general whiskey.

You are like me with the Double Oak. I love original Woodford, but the Double Oak just adds another layer of depth that makes it wonderful to sip on. Too bad it is about 50 bucks where I live. If it was cheaper, the Double Oak would be a daily sipper for me.

I loved the fruitiness of the rye. It was surprisingly sweet, smooth and light. The double was good but if you’re talking a versatile and cheaper whiskey. The rye is like 20$ cheaper, tastes great alone and could be easily mixed if you have some non whiskey drinkers over for company.

[@Darbobski]

I have a question that may seem kind of strange. Instead of an infinity bottle, I use a 3-gallon charred new oak barrel in which I only put bourbons. My question is if I can no longer consider the barrel's contents "bourbon" after adding the second brand (of Bourbon)? I'm going off of the technical definition of bourbon having to be in unused, new oak. Once I've used it to store one maker's bourbon and then add another...am I correct that now I've broken the chain and this simply becomes an unclassified spirit? Sorry, I know its a weird question, but this is what I think about at night. - Thanks, Tribal Chiefs!!

[@dennishill6742]

You appear to have a lot of open bottles in the collection behind you in your video’s. Do you do anything to preserve them? Does an open whiskey bottle not go bad or change in flavor over time?

[@kinggeek5637]

I got a question for Daniel (no offence Rex😉) If a whisky eg. Single malt only uses one grain and if distillers use similar processes according to their region, why does the end product often taste different? Is it barrels? Age? Thanks

Woodford put out an experimental Double Double Oaked once. Same as the Double Oak but the 2nd barrel is double charred. Really brings out that woodsy bitter chocolate note. Don't know if they still make it. Super limited experimental runs are kind of Woodford's thing.

I am definitely a whiskey novice and have been trying to experience as many different whiskeys as possible. Would those little 50ml bottles be good to try different whiskeys cheaply? I've heard the neck pour isn't as good as the rest of the bottle, would the same hold true for the smaller "sample" bottles? Also, as a side note. I tried a pour of Ardbeg at my local bar the other day as my first smoky scotch... is it blasphemous to say that all I smelled and tasted was "beggin strips" (those fake bacon dog treats)? My wife was definitely not a fan of my breath the rest of our night out...

[@franciscopaulino1502]

Many blessings to all I would like to know which are the best Bourbon whiskey. I would like you to recommend a good quality bourbon whiskey. I tried several and couldn't find anything special and have wasted a lot of money.

[@FSAS]

Also Woodford picks are apparently 2 barrel batches. "DISTILLER’S SELECT PERSONAL SELECTION Because each barrel matures at its own rate, they take on a character of their own. So you’ll taste several as you craft your own two barrel batch. Then we’ll bottle your selections, complete with personalized labels. It’s Craft Bourbon, and you’re one of its craftsmen. Here’s what you’ll receive: 180 1.0L bottles of your selected bourbon, offered in personalized, individually labeled bottles bearing your name. A personalized barrelhead. One of the empty barrels used in the bottling (if desired). A private tour of the distillery and lunch with tasting group. Your name on a permanent plaque at the distillery." - Patrick

I'm pretty sure a barrel of any liquid exposed to the vacuum of space would result in 100% evaporation of the contents. Even on ISS, the constant temperature would limit wood interaction, particularly with weightlessness potentially keeping the liquid from pressing against the inside of the barrel.

It's About meeting one's demise with some dignity, grace, bravery, strength, honor and all that glorious testosterone Bullshit. To quote my Pap, "I don't know that there's a good way to die; but there's for sure are a few bad ways." With that meandering preamble. You guys gave me an idea for a way an adventurous person could schuck off this mortal coil. You're an astronaut floating in low earth orbit. Something has gone horribly wrong and you're untethered and running out of oxygen. You have made peace with your imminent journey over the river Styx. Out of nowhere comes an unattended Whiskey Barrel SCREAMING along at a closing speed of Mach 34: right at you. In this collision you, the barrel, and the 100 Liters of Scotch inside: are all atomized into a mist of crimson caramel SCOTCHMONAUT! Then your debris Burns up in a 88 proof blaze of glory! Scattering, Smearing your aggregate, aged, atomized ashes across the Ionosphere. Now that's a toast. 🔥🌠🌌
