About the Brand

INSPIRED BY BOURBON'S HISTORY
The art of making fine bourbon first took place on the site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, in 1812. You get that sense of history. The history of bourbon is the history of Kentucky, is the history of the United States.

GRAIN RECIPE
Woodford Reserve is crafted from a grain recipe of 72% corn, 18% Rye, and 10% malted barley. This recipe balances the sweetness of corn with the spice of rye, and the nuttiness of malt to build the base for the world’s most flavorful bourbon.
WATER SOURCE
The water we use to craft Woodford Reserve comes directly from the distillery. It is naturally filtered by the limestone deposits under our property. Iron-free and mineral rich, it is a crucial ingredient in process.
FERMENTATION
Our fermentation process is among the longest in the industry. This extra time, paired with our unique yeast strain, creates a great depth of character and a complex range of flavors.
DISTILLATION
The perfectly balanced flavor of Woodford Reserve comes from a careful batching process of whiskey distilled in pot stills and whiskey distilled in column stills. No other whiskey can boast such a flavor combination.

Woodford Reserve Derby

Woodford Reserve, the Presenting Sponsor of the Kentucky Derby, is honoring “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” with the release of its 2022 commemorative Derby bottle.

This year’s bottle features the artwork of Kentucky native Jaime Corum, an equine artist known for her stunning horse portraits. Corum’s painting, titled “Dreams in Bloom,” features three thoroughbreds racing neck-and-neck, surrounded by a spray of vivid spring flowers, including the iconic red roses of Derby.

All The Flavor, A Little Added Maturity
The World’s Most Awarded Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey is delighted to unveil a new permanent addition to its esteemed family: Redbreast 18 Year Old. A bold expression made even more unique by the addition of cream sherry casks in the aging process.

Matured by our Master Blender in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and casks seasoned with the finest oloroso sherry, cream sherry and ruby port to elevate Redbreast’s Single Pot Still Whiskey to new heights. Bursting with berry fruit aromas, hazelnut chocolate tones, and caramelized stone fruit sweetness, our latest addition introduces a captivating array of new flavors that complement that signature Redbreast taste.

Tasting Notes
The tantalizing addition of cream sherry casks from the esteemed Antonio Páez Lobato cooperage, rarely seen before in Redbreast whiskey, along with the portfolio’s more traditional cask profile, promises a tasting experience both new and familiar.

Crafted by the Kaikyo Distillery, it embodies a harmonious blend of malt and grain whiskies, aged in oak barrels to impart a nuanced depth of flavor.

Midleton Dair Ghaelach, which means quite simply, Irish oak, is the result of a six-year exploration by the Midleton Masters into using native oak to mature Irish whiskey.

Led by then Master of Maturation, Kevin O’Gorman, the two prerequisites for the project were to source Irish oak in a sustainable way, viable for the long-term, and to craft a new and outstanding style of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey.

This whiskey is a range of releases that have been matured in barrels made from virgin Irish oak from particular forests across Ireland. The oak selected for each release influences this special whiskey with the true and unique flavour of Ireland.

Its provenance told in each sublime sip, this is the tale of our native oak striking harmony with the classically rich and spicy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey character. This is a whiskey like no other.

The story of each bottle of Midleton Dair Ghaelach can be traced right back to the very oak trees that helped to create its refined and unmistakable taste.

Midleton Dair Ghaelach is non-chill filtered, cask strength and natural colour.

Distilled, matured and bottled by Midleton Distillery, Co. Cork, Ireland.

A fresh, all natural mix made with 100% real Florida lime juice and organic agave nectar from Jalisco, Mexico. The perfect balance of sweet & sour flavors

INGREDIENTS: Filtered Water, Fresh Lime Juice, Organic Blue Agave Nectar, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).

It’s more than just peachy. Each sip of 360 Georgia Peach is like taking a bite of a juicy peach: bright, refreshing, and full of flavor. Georgia has been famed for its peaches since the late 1800s. 360 Georgia Peach embraces the classic peach flavor with a fresh and fruity taste and mellow finish. From fuzzy navels to Moscow mules, 360 Georgia Peach adds a that peach-perfect twist you’ve been waiting for.

Cardenal Mendoza Angêlus is a liqueur based around Sherry Brandy, with Seville oranges, lemons, cardamom and clove. The most exclusive part of Cardenal Mendoza, the Angels’ share, takes on a new dimension in the form of a liqueur. Angêlus is a liqueur based around our classic Sherry Brandy.

The Angel's Share

Using the classic Cardenal Mendoza Brandy as its base, Angêlus is made by blending in the essences of the natural ingredients, principally bitter oranges and orange peel and cardamom, and ageing the blend in butts already seasoned with Sherry to achieve perfect balance.

This creates a unique, original and distinctive product which is enormously versatile.

Tasting Notes

Bright mahogany in colour with glinting amber highlights. On the nose it has fresh, intricate citrus and spiced notes which evoke sweet, tangy aromas of dried fruits. The palate offers an explosion of citrus notes, with lots of orangey bitterness from the bitter oranges, a sophisticated hint of spice and a slight toasted note, all balanced by some sweetness. The finish is seemingly endless.

Angêlus is amazingly versatile.

It is delicious on its own or with a little honey as a winter warmer helped by its spicy note. At other times of year it works beautifully neat with ice and a slice of orange, or as a long drink with lemonade or sparkling water. It also makes a very sophisticated version of the Alexander cocktail, shaken with ice and fresh cream. In the kitchen it makes a superb crèpe Suzette and a few drops vastly improve a fruit salad.

The Yamato Year of the Rabbit Special Edition Japanese Whisky is a limited release that pays homage to the Japanese Zodiac calendar. Crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as its counterparts, this special edition offers a unique twist with its exclusive packaging and commemorative significance. Distilled from select malted barley and aged to perfection, it delivers a refined drinking experience with distinctive notes of oak, spice, and a touch of sweetness. This special release is a prized addition to any collection, celebrating both the artistry of Japanese whisky-making and the symbolism of the Year of the Rabbit.

Winemaker Notes

Although it’s a tad risqué, Ménage à Trois Chardonnay has an impeccable, California coastal pedigree. To enhance its delicious fruity flavors, we fermented the wine with a special French yeast (but of course!), induced partial malolactic fermentation, and coupled the creamy result with French and American oak.

Tasting Notes

Each appellation partner in our Ménage à Trois Chardonnay contributes a distinctive quality to the finished blend: crisp, lemon and lime aromas and vibrant, tropical fruit flavors from the Central Coast; and beautiful structure from the North Coast. The resulting Chardonnay is full-bodied on the palate, with strong varietal fruit characters.
