Distiller Notes
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey offers a perfectly balanced taste with more than 200 detectable flavor notes. Craft mixed drinks like a Mint Julep or Old Fashioned with this bourbon whiskey. Each bourbon barrel helps Woodford Reserve deliver a heavy aroma of rich dried fruit with a smooth, satisfying finish.
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.
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
