The story behind it

The maker

Woodford Reserve was introduced in 1996 by Brown-Forman, reviving the historic Labrot & Graham distillery site dating back to 1838. As the presenting sponsor of the Kentucky Derby, the brand releases a highly anticipated, limited-edition bottle annually featuring artwork that captures the spirit of the Run for the Roses.

How it is made

Woodford Reserve is crafted at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, which is situated on one of the state's oldest distilling sites. The process highlights five key sources of flavor: mineral-rich limestone water, a unique grain recipe, long fermentation, triple pot distillation, and custom-toasted barrels.
