Introduction

The Kentucky Derby is one of the most prestigious horse races in the world, attracting thousands of visitors every year to the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky.

The design depicts thoroughbreds charging down the track, bringing to life the excitement and energy of the race. The bottle is also adorned with the official Kentucky Derby logo and the Woodford Reserve logo, making it a perfect collector’s item.

The Bourbon Inside

Of course, the bottle design is only one part of the equation. What really matters is what’s inside, and Woodford Reserve never disappoints. The 2019 Kentucky Derby bottle features Woodford Reserve’s signature Distiller’s Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon, a rich and complex whiskey with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice. This award-winning bourbon has been aged for a minimum of six years in new, charred oak barrels, giving it a bold flavor and a smooth finish.
