Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 145 Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 145 Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of bluegrass and thoroughbred farms sits one of Kentucky's oldest and smallest distilleries. The iconic Woodford Reserve Distillery sits on the grounds of a National historic landmark. It is Kentucky's oldest distilling site where the legendary Elijah Pepper began crafting whiskey in 1812, beginning a dynastic legacy in Kentucky Bourbon. It was on this same sacred soil that years later, Master Distiller James Christopher Crow developed his whiskey-making methods, alongside Oscar Pepper, which today have become common practice, including the implementation of sour mash into fermentation. Revolutionizing concepts of sour mash and yeast propagation, and modernizing the process of whiskey production in the US. Produced under the Brown-Forman Corporation, Woodford Reserve Bourbons are premium spirits crafted in small batches and aged in new char oak barrels. This artisanal process allows them to craft using all five sources of bourbon flavor, giving it its distinct taste and crisp, clean finish. Woodford Reserve's Distillery houses an impressive 500-foot-long gravity-fed barrel run, along with their iconic copper pot stills, and 100-year-old cypress wood fermenters. Their facility also has one of the only heat cycled barrelhouses in the world. An impressive mechanism which gives Woodford Reserve its color and signature flavor. This limited-edition 2019 Woodford Reserve Derby bottle features the colorful artwork of Keith Anderson, an employee of the Brown-Forman's Bourbon Street Cafe. As is the official bourbon of The Kentucky Derby this is the 20th annual release in the long-standing artistic series. Commemorating the running of the 145th Kentucky Derby the bottle features thoroughbreds racing across the decanter. Pick up your bottle today!
