The story behind it

The maker

Woodford Reserve was introduced in 1996 by Brown-Forman, built upon a historic distillery site originally established by Elijah Pepper in 1812. Under the guidance of legendary Master Distiller Chris Morris and current Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall, the brand has become a symbol of craftsmanship, premium quality, and the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, this bourbon is triple-distilled in copper pot stills and aged in new, charred white oak barrels. The distillery is situated on Kentucky's oldest distilling site, where Lincoln County's limestone-filtered water source helps define its unique character.
