Woodford Reserve Derby 152 Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Limited Release

This is Woodford Reserve's Distiller's Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon dressed for race day: an annual commemorative bottling for the 152nd Kentucky Derby, with artwork celebrating roses, thundering hooves and the energy of Churchill Downs. The bourbon itself is made at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, from a mash of corn, rye and malted barley. It is distilled in a combination of copper pot and column stills and matured in new charred American oak. At 90.4 proof, it opens with vanilla and caramel over toasted oak, dried fruit and gentle spice, then settles into honeyed sweetness, baking spice and seasoned oak before a clean, warming finish. That balance makes it an easy recommendation for someone newer to bourbon, a reliable base for a Mint Julep or Old Fashioned, and a natural fit for Derby collectors who gather the editions year after year. We carry it because the liquid holds up to the label: a familiar, well-made bourbon in a presentation worth keeping on the shelf.
