Noble Oak Double Oak Bourbon

Bourbon Whiskey | 45% ABV | 90 Proof | 750mL | USA | Minimum 2 Years | Charred New American White Oak | Sherry Oak Stave Finish

Process & Profile

Noble Oak Double Oak Bourbon begins with bourbon matured for a minimum of two years in charred new American white oak barrels, where it develops its foundation of caramel, vanilla, and oak. It then undergoes Noble Oak’s distinctive secondary maturation process using sherry-seasoned oak staves sourced by the Master of Wood at Edrington.

The additional oak treatment introduces layers of ripe cherry, dried fruit, honey, vanilla, and warm baking spice. Bottled at 90 proof, the finished bourbon balances traditional American oak sweetness with a rich sherry-influenced fruit character and a lingering wood-driven finish.
