Double Double Oaked starts there and keeps going: the Double Oaked bourbon is transferred to a second finishing barrel — also heavily toasted and lightly charred — for up to two years of additional maturation. That extended contact with a third new oak surface produces a whiskey measurably richer and sweeter than Double Oaked, with more concentrated caramel, vanilla, and toasted wood sweetness layered over the original bourbon structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally a distillery-exclusive 375ml release, Double Double Oaked was expanded to a nationwide 750ml limited annual release in 2025 under Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall.
