Counterpart — Coniferous double barrel Woodford

Some collaborations transcend the ordinary, and the Counterpart Coniferous Double Barrel Woodford is a testament to what happens when two distinct craft philosophies collide with purpose. This extraordinary release brings together the world of premium American whiskey and the boundary-pushing creativity of craft brewing, resulting in a double-barrel aged expression that challenges every expectation of what a hybrid spirit can be. Rare, deliberate, and unmistakably bold, this bottle represents the kind of collector’s find that defines a serious cellar.

A Unique Heritage and Production Story

Rooted in a partnership that honours Woodford Reserve’s legendary Kentucky distilling tradition, Counterpart was conceived as a creative counterpoint — a spirit finished and transformed through an additional barrel aging process that incorporates the influence of craft beer production. The coniferous character at the heart of this expression comes from barrel treatment and botanical influence associated with hop-forward and resinous brewing techniques, lending the whiskey an entirely new aromatic dimension that sets it apart from conventional releases.

Tasting Notes: Resinous Depth and Layered Complexity

On the nose, expect an inviting interplay of fresh pine resin, cedarwood, and toasted oak, underscored by warm vanilla and dried stone fruit. The palate delivers a rich, full-bodied experience with notes of caramelised malt. Then spruce tip, dark honey, and a whisper of baking spice. The finish is long and warming, with a satisfying coniferous freshness that lingers beautifully alongside the spirit’s inherent sweetness. Each sip reveals another layer, rewarding patience and contemplation.

• Double barrel aging for enhanced depth and character
