Double oaked bourbons have been a staple in the world of whiskey for years now. You take a bourbon, aged in an unused barrel as always, you dump it out, and then you put it into yet another unused barrel to get even more of that oaky flavor. It's a really popular finishing method, but what does it actually change about the flavor? In this episode, Chris does a blind tasting of four different whiskeys in order to find out. Listen along to discover the real, unbiased way that double oaking changes flavor.
