Woodford Reserve and Compartés Return With Limited-Edition S'mores Chocolate Bar

Fireside Flavors Meet Fine Bourbon in the Latest Compartés Collaboration

VERSAILLES, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Woodford Reserve and Compartés are bringing campfire nostalgia to their latest collaboration: a limited-edition S'mores Chocolate Bar infused with Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon. The release marks the third year of the partnership between Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall and chocolatier Jonathan Grahm.

This winter, Woodford Reserve is leaning into the season —starting with Double Oaked Bourbon's signature notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel, now layered into a S'mores Chocolate Bar alongside toasted marshmallow, graham cracker, and rich dark chocolate. The result is a confection that evokes a cozy winter evening spent fireside. Alongside the chocolate bar, Woodford Reserve introduces the S'more Old Fashioned — a cocktail built for the season.

S'more Old Fashioned

• 1.5 oz Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
• 1 oz Light Brown Sugar Simple Syrup
• 2 dashes Chocolate Bitters
• Chocolate Syrup & Crushed Graham Cracker Rim
• Toasted Marshmallow Garnish

Dip the rim of a rocks glass in chocolate syrup and crushed graham cracker. Add a large ice cube, 1.5 oz of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, 1 oz of Light Brown Sugar Simple Syrup, and two dashes of Chocolate Bitters. Stir and enjoy this cocktail built for the season. Double Oaked Bourbon meets chocolate bitters and toasted marshmallow syrup, finished with a torched marshmallow garnish.

“Double Oaked is born from fire—two charred oak barrels creating its distinctive warmth and depth," said Elizabeth McCall, Master Distiller, Woodford Reserve. "The flavors of Double Oaked lend themselves naturally to a S'mores experience—whether you're savoring the chocolate bar or sipping the S'more Old Fashioned. We wanted to create something that brings people together."

"Woodford Reserve has always been a stellar partner, and continuing to work with them allows us to create new ways for consumers to experience the magic of bourbon and chocolate," said Jonathan Grahm, Founder and Chocolatier, Compartés. "We're grateful for the partnership and proud of what we've built together."

The Woodford Reserve x Compartés partnership began in 2024 with a four-piece chocolate truffle collection, followed by a bourbon-infused chocolate bar inspired by the Old Fashioned cocktail. The latest edition, the Compartés x Woodford Reserve Double Oaked S'mores Chocolate Bar, is available for the suggested manufacturer's retail price of $9.95 at fine retailers nationwide. It is also available at the Woodford Reserve Distillery and can be shipped nationwide via shop.woodfordreserve.com.
