Woodford Reserve 2024 Kentucky Derby 150 Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey

Each year, Woodford Reserve pays homage to the Kentucky Derby, celebrated as "The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports," with a unique Derby bottle adorned with exceptional artwork. This edition, in honor of the 150th Kentucky Derby, showcases the art of Wylie Caudill, a Kentucky native. His work, "Adorned in Roses," captures the essence of the Derby with a portrayal of a racehorse embellished in red roses against a vibrant backdrop of multicolored roses, reflecting his style of bold, repetitive patterns and an affinity for roses.

The bourbon itself boasts a clear, honey amber color, presenting an aromatic blend of rich dried fruit, mint, and oranges, all lightly dusted with cocoa and accented with subtle notes of vanilla and tobacco spice. On the palate, it offers a rich and rounded texture, brimming with flavors of citrus, cinnamon, cocoa, toffee, caramel, chocolate, and spices. The finish is exceptionally smooth, starting almost creamy and leaving a long, warmly satisfying aftertaste.

Pairing this exquisite bourbon with traditional Southern dishes promises a culinary experience that's as memorable as the Derby itself.
