Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 144 (1 Liter)
100 cl, 45.2%

Since 1999 Woodford Reserve has held the title of “Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby”. The Kentucky Derby is one of the most famous and prestigious horse races in the world.

The relationship between Woodford Reserve and racing is close. Woodford County, Kentucky, where the distillery is based, is home to more racing horses than people. Famously, Woodford Reserve has been used to make a $1,000 Mint Julep that is served to patrons at the race.

Each year, Wood Reserve releases a special, Derby-themed bottling. These releases are both highly collectable and limited in number. Each bottle features a different label, featuring an image of the race.

This whiskey was made for race number 144. The spirit is made with the usual high Rye mashbill that Woodford uses: 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malt. This produces a well-balanced, spicy Bourbon.

The bottling delivers flavours of leather, barrel char, chocolate, spiced oak, dried fruits, cloves, cinnamon, herbaceous rye, vanilla, rum and oily almonds and walnuts.

Bottled at 45.2% ABV this is a robust and flavoursome Bourbon, perfect for making into a Julep on race day!
