Woodford Reserve and Compartés began working together in 2024 and the partnership introduced a four-piece chocolate truffle collection, then a bourbon-infused chocolate bar inspired by the Old Fashioned cocktail, and now, in 2026, a limited-edition S'mores Chocolate Bar. This all-new creation from the partnering brands is infused with Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon to enrich the nostalgic sweet treat with signature notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel.
Alongside the limited-edition chocolate bar for fans of bourbon and a classic campfire snack, Woodford Reserve and Compartés came up with a recipe for a Double Oaked S'mores Old Fashioned. Alongside Woodford Reserve Double Oaked and light brown sugar simple syrup, the recipe calls for chocolate bitters, chocolate syrup, a crushed graham cracker rim and a toasted marshmallow garnish.
