Patrick "Pops" Garrett -

Welcome to Day 19 of our 30 Days of Bourbon Challenge! Today, we’re featuring a bottle that’s all about rich, layered flavors: Hugh Hamer Double Oaked Bourbon. If you’re a fan of bold bourbons with a complex finish, this one’s for you. Crafted by West Fork Whiskey, this double oaked expression takes bourbon to the next level by introducing it to a second barrel for added depth and richness.

Why Hugh Hamer Double Oaked Bourbon?

What makes this bourbon stand out is its unique double-oaking process. After aging in new American oak barrels, the bourbon is transferred to another barrel for a second round of aging, resulting in an intensified flavor profile. This method brings out deeper notes of caramel, vanilla, and spice, along with the signature smoothness that comes from West Fork’s high-quality craftsmanship.

Here’s why Hugh Hamer Double Oaked Bourbon deserves a spot in your 30 Days of Bourbon lineup:

  • Tasting Notes: This bourbon delivers a rich aroma of vanilla, dark fruit, and toasted oak on the nose. The palate is a flavorful journey, offering notes of caramel, cinnamon, and sweet oak, complemented by hints of baking spices and charred wood from the second barrel. The finish is long and smooth, leaving behind a lasting impression of spiced oak and sweetness.
  • Double Oaked Craftsmanship: The double oaking process adds complexity and depth to the bourbon, creating a more intense flavor profile without losing its balance. If you enjoy bourbons with bold oak notes and a sweet backbone, this is an experience you won’t want to miss.
  • Versatile and Bold: Whether you’re enjoying it neat, on the rocks, or mixed into a classic bourbon cocktail, Hugh Hamer Double Oaked Bourbon delivers a full-bodied experience that’s both bold and approachable.
