Double Oak Barrel Strength Bourbon is a tribute to Mary Dowling’s late husband, John Dowling, and the artistry of barrel craftsmanship that defined their joint journey into distilling. Double Oak Barrel Strength Bourbon boasts bolder favors and higher proofs, while retaining an incredibly smooth finish. The liquid first slumbers in #4, wood-fired, toasted, and charred new American oak before resting in #1 new American oak with a #1 char and heavy toast. The resulting wheated bourbon unveils a tapestry of unforgettable flavors, including hints of tobacco, indulgent chocolate, subtle anise, and luscious cherry, all seamlessly intertwined with the enduring presence of oak and a delicate blend of cinnamon and nutmeg. As each sip unfolds, a symphony of flavors dances on the palate, culminating in a lingering, yet refined finish, echoing the essence of cherry and a medley of spices.

Finished in a second new American Oak barrel with a #1 char and heavy toast

In similar fashion, our Double Oak Cask Strength bourbon boasts bolder flavors and higher proofs, while retaining an incredibly smooth finish. As a consequence of resting in two different oak barrels from Kelvin Cooperage – the first in heavy toasted and Char #3 New American Oak barrels, the second in lightly toasted and Char #1 New American Oak barrels — the liquid benefits from a longer maturing process, creating a deeper, richer taste.
