Process & Profile
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 152 Edition is a limited annual release commemorating the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby. Produced at Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, the whiskey inside the bottle is Woodford Reserve’s signature Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
Crafted from a traditional mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, it is distilled using a combination of copper pot stills and column stills, then matured in new charred American oak barrels. This release carries no age statement and follows Woodford Reserve’s classic flavor profile.
The defining feature of the Derby 152 Edition is its exclusive commemorative bottle design, created to honor the heritage, elegance, and pageantry of the Kentucky Derby—where Woodford Reserve proudly serves as the Official Bourbon.
