Old Louisville 7-Year-Old Double Oaked Bourbon Old Louisville’s 7-Year-Old Double Oaked Bourbon is a small-batch, limited-release powerhouse bottled at barrel-proofs that vary between 115 and 125. It spends seven years maturing in new, charred American oak barrels before finishing for an additional 15 months in heavily toasted casks. This double-oak regimen yields rich layers of toasted marshmallow, dark brown sugar, and warm baking spices balanced by creamy vanilla and subtle nutty undertones.
On the palate, robust notes of burnt caramel and peanut brittle give way to charred oak and spiced fig, all wrapped in a velvety-long finish. Non-chill filtration preserves its oily mouthfeel, making each sip an intense exploration of sweet-smoke interplay. Whether enjoyed neat to showcase its full-strength character or with a few drops of water to unlock hidden aromatics, it’s a must-try for seasoned bourbon enthusiasts.
