Woodford Reserve Straight Bourbon

One of Kentucky’s oldest and smallest distilleries, the present day Woodford Reserve Distillery is built on history, sitting on Kentucky’s oldest distilling site where Elijah Pepper began crafting whiskey in 1812. It was on these same hallowed grounds that years later Master Distiller James Christopher Crow perfected his whiskey-making methods, which today have become common practice, including the implementation of sour mash into fermentation.

The Distillery is home to a 500-foot-long gravity-fed barrel run, our iconic copper pot stills, and 100-year-old cypress wood fermenters. We also boast one of the only heat cycled barrelhouses in the world, ensuring every drop seeps into the charred and toasted white oak, giving Woodford Reserve its color and signature flavor.

Selected as the Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby and the historic Churchill Downs this thoroughbred races into the glass a medium amber colour. You’ll be met with aromas of sweet vanilla, apricot, caramel and spice; soft and quite rounded with delicate vanilla and caramel flavours followed by a long complex finish.
