Woodford Reserve introduces limited-edition Double XO Blend to global travel retail

Woodford Reserve is celebrating the return of Double XO Blend, an innovative expression available exclusively in global travel retail GTR).

This release marks a historic first for the brand, the first GTR product under Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall’s leadership.

Double XO is a distinctive blend of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys that have been double and triple distilled, then finished in heavily toasted barrels and XO Cognac casks. The dual-finishing process adds layers of depth and character, resulting in a richly textured and refined whiskey that showcases Woodford Reserve’s continued commitment to innovation and craftsmanship.

"This unique whiskey has a depth, complexity and elegance unlike any of our current offerings, yet it is distinctively Woodford Reserve,” McCall said.

This limited-edition release has an MSRP of US$174.99 for a 700 ml bottle and is available in limited quantities at select GTR locations.
