Woodford Reserve
Copper pot stills and thoroughbred country elegance
Founded 1812Signature · Distiller's Select
In the heart of horse country, on a site distilling since 1812, Woodford Reserve does bourbon the eccentric way: triple distillation in copper pot stills imported from Scotland, run alongside column-still stock from Louisville, and married into a whiskey of unusual polish. The limestone distillery — a National Historic Landmark — is the prettiest in Kentucky, and the whiskey matches: dried fruit, cocoa and spice, the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby.

Polished and layered — dried fruit, cocoa and gentle spice.
