Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 152 Edition is a commemorative annual release celebrating the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby. The bourbon inside is Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, produced at Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky. It is crafted from a traditional bourbon mash of corn, rye, and malted barley, distilled using a combination of pot stills and column stills, and matured in new charred American oak barrels. This release does not carry an age statement and follows Woodford Reserve’s standard maturation and flavor profile. The defining distinction of the Kentucky Derby 152 Edition is its limited-edition bottle design, created specifically to honor the heritage, tradition, and pageantry of the Kentucky Derby, for which Woodford Reserve serves as the official bourbon sponsor.
