Woodford double oaked is one hell of a bottle and I’m so thankful you can regularly get it at any liquor store. One of the better values out there in my opinion

Toasting is a slower “baking” process to expand the wood and bring out some of the wood flavors. Charing is blowing fire into the barrels and actually burning the wood. Love the video guys!

Woodford double oaked is the pinnacle of bourbons im my opinion! Tried Four roses single barrel, old forester 1910, eagle rare 10 yr and buffalo trace but i always find myself going back to WF

1910 absolutely slaps. Two other toasted choices that are quite good are Penelope toasted series (barrel strength) and Sangamore Spirits Double Oak rye

I love the Woodford double oaked; glad it came on number one!

During barrel production, the insides of barrels are typically toasted-either over an open flame or over an oven. Toasting both mellows the tannins in the wood, as well as changes the flavors the barrel might impart from raw wood to more spicy, vanilla notes-toasting actually helps release vanillin from the cellulose in the wood. There are varying degrees of toasting-from a light toast to a heavy toast and, as you might imagine, that changes the way they can influence a wine. Essentially, the heavier the toast, the stronger the barrel’s flavors. The word “charred” implies that something has gone past toasting to partially burning, and indeed charred barrels look black inside-they are about an eighth of an inch charred. Charred barrels aren’t really used for wine, but they are a part of bourbon production. That charred wood ends up becoming a sort of activated carbon filter, which can help remove sulfur compounds from a whisky, and make a smoother drink. Charred barrels also impart a darker color, smoky notes as well as caramel, honey and plenty of spicy accents. Information From The Wine Spectator

Woodford double oaked is fantastic, not surprised it won the blind. I didn't know the 1910 was double barreled, I'll have to pick one up!

I absolutely love WR Double Oaked!!!!! Worth every penny!!

I'm just a beginner in the Whisky world and being able to start this journey watching your videos, it's really like a beacon of light in the vast sea of options. Thank you for your guidance ! PS: Just had the Woodford Double Oaked yesterday and I loved it !

1910 and woodford double oaked are my two favorite toasted/double oaked bourbons I’ve had. Just picked up the nulu toasted. Excited to try it since it’s a lot higher proof

Woodford Double Oaked and 1910 are my two favorites in this lineup and are currently on my shelf. Thanks for confirming this. I won't wast my time / money on the other three.

I really enjoyed learning about toasting/charring in this episode, as I haven't tried any whiskeys of that sort yet. Thanks guys!

1910 I get Marshmallow on the pallet as well... My favorite Old Forester product.

Love the Woodford DO and the limited release Double Double Oaked was some of the most amazing bourbon I've tried.

Great topic - confirmed by many of the comments. WRDO was my favorite until I started to develop a taste for higher proof. Still go through more of it than anything else. Nearly every glass, I mutter, $!%% candy in a glass… 1910 is right there with it.

I hope you know how much value you two bring to those of us that share your taste profiles. Both Woodford DO and 1910 have been my go-to's for many moons now and your videos like this have become great resource for some of other offerings I may not have even thought of. That, is as beautiful a thing, as your relationship with family, thank you.

Good video, thanks for posting it. In my whiskey journey, I have come to love double oaked, toasted, and charred barrel expressions, including Old Forester 1910 (and 1915 blending with OF 1920), Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Jameson Black Barrel Irish, Sagamore Double Oaked Rye, and Ardbeg Scorch. If I can find the Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel and the Michters Toasted Rye, I’ll grab them and try them. Thanks again for the video.

Love seeing WRDO winning. It always used to be my favorite bourbons and now it is still in my top 5 most favorites.

I really enjoyed this presentation. My first bottle was the Woodford Double Oaked - because of your other vids so this one was extra fun. You two have an amazing and easily consumable presentation together. If Trenton was my son I'd be extra proud!

You guys are so much fun to watch and I love your honest reviews. Of all that you had on this video I have only had the Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel, which I didn't care for, and Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, which is one of my favorites. Now I definitely want to try the OF 1910. Thanks again for your review. Cheers!

As I understand it...the lighter toast will excrete the vanillan and fundamental wood flavor profiles with the heavier char adding the deeper and lingering complexities and smokey flavors. There are infinitesimal variables depending on the type of oak, where it comes from and the length of dry aging prior to the charring process. Coopering is a whole other dimension to the flavor process. Additionally, the age of the barrels being used weigh heavily with flavor[s] influence. Whether the barrels are brand new or 1,2,3 or more years old AND have they been used in other capacities such as sherry or red wine? Perhaps a few segments about this aspect of the making of Bourbon would be of interest to your viewers. I really enjoy your channel and enthusiasm!

Huge fan of woodford double oaked. Definitely going to be giving 1910 a try after this!

I love you guys’ channel. I like that you do reviews on actual obtainable bourbons we can all get nationwide. With a mix of allocated products. Your reviews are so approachable.

Another great video! The 1910 and Woodford are two of my favorites.

1910 and Woodford Double Oaked are my choices as well. Dove Dark Chocolate followed by a sip of Double Oaked … Heavenly ❤

Another awesome show fellas! I completely agree with your final two in that order as you selected.

I am a big fan of OF 1910 and Woodford Double. Recently found EC Toasted Barrrel and it was great. I will take 1910 any day of the week.

Great show. I also love Woodford Double Oak and 1910. Good seeing Trenton in front of camera. Keep the reviews coming.

Great show! For the record, I appreciate when you guess which bottle the glass came from. It adds to the fun, even for me as an observer.

Duuuuude. I've been watching this channel for about the last year - trying to get into bourbon (I love Redbreast 12 Cask Strength). If i'm honest, for the last decade, i've never been able to tell a huge difference between bourbons. I literally just sat down with small pours of 1910 and WRDO and for the first time in my life, tasted a HUGE difference. The Woodford is slightly more polished with a darker vanilla sweetness. The 1910 tastes a bit brighter, like a peanut brittle and cherry cola fusion. Cheers to me hopefully being able to enjoy more bourbons from now on, and thanks for the great content!

Another Indiana distillery, West Fork Distillery out of Indianapolis, also produces a double oaked bottle via the Old Hamer line. It’s a respectable bottle and I love supporting local, but it can hardly hold a glass to 1910 and WRDO - my 2 all time favorite bourbons.

My favorite part of this video was just watching a great relationship between father and son sharing a common interest. I've only had the EC Toasted. Can't say I loved it on my first try, but will try again. Seems like toasted bourbons would be great dessert bourbons given their sweetness.

Great video. Didn’t know 1910 was double-Oakes and I also am a big fin of the WR double. I have a store select that’s pretty great.

You guys are super informative and get a kick out of the kidding around !

Two of my all-time favorite bourbons. I always have Woodford Reserve Double Oaked and Old Forester 1910 on the shelf at home. Great video guys. 👍🏻🥃

My brain felt "heavily charred" trying to understand how all these whiskeys are finished! Great explanation, comparison, and idea for a tasting. I really enjoyed the video. Thanks!

Just bought a bottle of the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Thanks guys! Had one several years ago I remember liking very much. We love your channel!

Toasting is the first process which is done with radiant heat. This brings out the sugars and tannins of the oak for flavor. Think of it as toasting a marshmallow to a golden brown before putting it in the fire for a quick char. This is what is done to each barrel which charring is about only 45 seconds. The barrel heads and even the bung hole are treated like this. Also barrels from Independent Stave Co. are stamped with a K or M on the rivet heads on the barrel hoops to identify where it was made Kentucky or Missouri.

That was great! Liked it a lot. And, you both picked my favorite too! Although I haven't tried all of those. Love that WFDO

I've loved Woodford Reserve DO ever since I first tasted it at the distillery in 2019. To me, it has a cognac element to it, that's very appealing.

Great video....love Woodford by itself and cocktails 👍

My favorite of these is 1910

I loved the show while I drank single malt whisky in cool rainy season of Cambodia...cool being 80F.... Just needed to spend some time with my Indiana family in SLB bar... Cheers...

Thanks Guys for this review. Toasted and Double Oaked products seem to be taking off as Bourbon drinkers are more than willing to pay the extra $$ for these Elite bottles. I do think that the regular Elijah Craig is a great value as an everyday sipper or in a Manhattan. How about a show on ALL of the Makers Mark products as they are releasing more specialty offerings like Barrell proof, etc. Their "46" product lead the way in the secondary aging process. Oops, almost forgot to ask you to think about making a Bourbon Manhattan review

I've had your top two and agree with those placements.

Woodford Double Oaked is my favorite, Old Forester 1910 is great as well

Great video guys, thank you for sharing!

WRDO all the way. And if you can get a store pick or barrel select. Jump on it.

Thanks for doing this. I know more about this style of product. Trent is a plus in front of the camera. You guys are great together.

The fruit notes in the 1910 makes sense as I believe that it is the same mash bill as the 1920 which is very fruit forward with the biggest difference (maybe the only diff. but not sure) between the two being the second barreling in the 1910. Great show! Cheers!

Great work guys. I agree with your order as well.

Man oh man, y’all just keep putting out great videos. And I think y’all are great about describing the whiskeys as well. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Again as always a great show! Loved the topic of the double oak whiskeys. I am with you on the Woodford reserve double oak as I drink a lot of that one. Old Forrester without question. I like most of the products. With you and Trent together the show is expanding and becoming very wonderful. Please keep up the good work.

Jut bought the Old Forester today, and I agree--very good!

Woodford Double Oak and Old Forester 1910 have always been favorites. My son and I did a blind test of the two and we agreed on the 1910 as better. But not by much. I just found a great bourbon Basil Hayden Toasted. Wow! Found that BH in a cool little bourbon bar in Astoria Oregon called Blaylocks. My youngest son is an original owner investor in that place by the way! They have a GREAT eclectic selection and they had the Basil Hayden Toast and I loved it. I returned home after visiting up there and I was lucky to find a bottle at Specs in Houston. I think the price was only $46 too!

Since I got turned on to Sagamore double oak it has become my favorite. I realize it's a rye but it sure is tasty and readily available to me.

I’ll have to try the Old Forester, I love Woodford too. Good video guys.

Great stuff guys! I'm still milking my bottle of WR Double Oaked that I picked up at the distillery when there for a tour 5 years ago. I have about 2 inches left in the bottle, next time it show up at the GWFS store I will backfill for sure. So rich, so complex and tasty. Love it! Great call. Still looking for both Old Forester 1910 and 1920 to try those, will keep looking. Big fan of OF 100pf in both regular and rye, so know I will like the others as well.

I see them both often (SW Ohio) and have tried both. 1910 gets my nod by a nose. Great review! Many thanks.

great vid....Woodford D.O. is my fav!

I've really enjoyed the Winchester Double Oak. I'll have to try some of these others.

I do love the 1910 for all the reasons said in the video. So good. I'm going to have to pick up the Woodford DO now.

Honestly, I love the EC Toasted. I had no idea it was double oaked however and perhaps that’s why I love it so much. I even prefer it over the EC Barrel Proof. Here in Pa, Toasted runs $49.99 while Barrel Proof runs $69.99…so for $20 less I feel it is a great buy for the product. Now I need to try the 1910 and Woodford Double Oak to see how they compare. Great video guys!

I much prefer the OF to the Woodford, and I just bought a bottle of EC Toasted, and I really like it!

Love this and all the videos gentlemen. Keep up the phenomenal work! Been seeing and hearing a lot of great things about the Peerless Double Oak. Need to get my hands on that one. The same with the Nulu Double Oaked Small Batch. Grab either or both if you happen to see them in your area. I usually have to travel over to Ohio or New York to have a crack at either of those lol not the best selection here in PA.

OUTSTANDING lineup! Great show guys!👍🥃

I have both WR, and OF on hand at all times. I love going back and forth between the two. I love them both. I don’t want to choose. I throw Makers 46 in there from time to time as well.

Love that Woodford won and EC placed low. I don't understand the fervor around EC Toasted or even ECBP. It's fine whiskey but unless you get a store pick that's super aged they are generally on par with most $50-60 bottles. I'd take Heaven Hill BIB or OF 1920 over most ECBP's I've run across. Similar story with Larceny BP. Just not worth paying over retail on those two bottles. Woodford Double Oaked is just consistently one of the best bottles you can buy around $50. There are so many bottles coming out between $50-80 and most are just inferior to something that is on the shelf at 95% stores. Variety is nice but I feel like Bourbon YT forget how good Double Oaked or even Makers Cask strength are until they put them in blinds. Then they immediately forget again.

First time I tried Woodford Double Oaked was in First Class on a flight…fell in love with it. Purchased a bottle as soon as I got back home. 😊

Wicked review. My brother and I did a sampling test last year: Eagle Rare, Blanton's original, etc and WRDO came out on top. You guys kill it!

Great review again guys..thanks from Trev in the UK 🇬🇧

Just getting into these a year later. I have not had the Old Forester but I have had the Woodford double oaked. Now I’m not the most knowledgeable and experienced bourbon person, but my collection has risen to about 40 different bottles with some being allocated such as Blantons, BT, Bookers, and the like. That Woodford Double Oaked is something special. Man that is good stuff

Those two in first and second are two of my favorites

Great show …love it when you two guys do a tasting together …get a kick out of Trenton’s comments! This was very informative as I am fairly new to the bourbon world but absolutely love it! Thank you guys! 🥃

Woodforde DO is my favorite. If you can find one, Michters releases a toasted barrel about once every 3 yrs. Excellent stuff.

Thank you for this video. I learned quite a bit of information. I have tasted the OF 1910 and WRDO. I love the WRDO the best also.

Great video and one that I've always been interested about. Even though not a bourbon, the Sagamore Double Oak is my favorite out of all of them.

Man.. I love this father/son bourbon tasting channel. Yall's vibe is great.

Definitely agree with these. 1910 is always good and I have had some fantastic woodford picks as well. Also love that you have your family involved in your channel.

At first, totally agreed with your logic: it seemed impossible to be both lightly toasted and heavily charred (like you woulda been LONG past toasted to be charred). BUT… then it occurred to me that toasting is a slow baking process, and it affects the inside of the oak more, so it would make sense (to me anyway) that they would do a slow bake, then char the inside of the barrel afterward.

Great channel, thanks for the great reviews for this new bourbon connoisseur 🍻

Lately my taste have been for finished bourbons, my next adventure will be for double barrel bourbons. Thank you for a great video

I got into Bourbon as a substitute for Maple Cake Donuts!!!!

Love your tastings!!!

Love me some Toasted Barrel EC. But that's what's so great about Bourbon, everyone has diff favorites

I am new to whiskey/bourbon but I have been intrigued by the toasted barrel flavor profile, that seems right up my alley. This will be a good place to start and would love to hear other recommendations.

Woodford reserve Double Oak has been my favorite for a while. That is my go to.

I see at least three bourbons I plan to buy..... But right now I'm have a couple of fingers of Bullet Rye and watching Hannity..... I also have discovered Redwood Empire, Emeral Giant Rye

Awesome video! Thanks for the shout out! Had a glass of Woodford double oaked last night. Looking forward to your next video!

another channel did double oaked comparison and left out the original....Woodford Double Oaked. I mean, who does that? Glad you guys included the GOAT!

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is my #1. Enjoyed this taste test guys

The Woodford Reserve is my Dad’s favourite. Will have to try him on a few of the others 👍

Woodford double Oaked is my go to! Love that stuff!

Woodford double Oaked is my favorite bourbon! Glad to know that I got decent taste! 😊

I had some 1910 yesterday and I agree it very good 👍

Great episode! Thanks guys

Love the whole family involvement!

That woodford double oak is fantastic

WR 2x oaked wins for me. Thanks for all you do for us beginners!!

I'm back and forth on what I like better between the O.F. 1910 and the W.R. D.O. It kinda depends on my palette that day. The Woodford is more syrupy and the Forester is more complex. Both are dark brown in color and that tends to lead me to believe that sent a good amount of time in the barrel soaking into the wood 🪵🥃. 👍👍
