Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 149 (2023) Commemorative Edition Bourbon 1L

Commemorate the pinnacle of thoroughbred racing history with the Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 149 (2023) Commemorative Edition Bourbon 1L. As the official presenting sponsor of the “Greatest Two Minutes in Sports,” Woodford Reserve honors legendary milestones each year with an exquisite artistic release. The 2023 edition marks the golden 50th anniversary of Secretariat’s historic 1973 Triple Crown triumph, immortalizing the fastest Kentucky Derby ever run (1:59 2/5).

Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, this special release showcases stunning label artwork by acclaimed Kentucky equine artist Jaime Corum, entitled “Secretariat – Still the Greatest.” Inside the collector’s 1-liter bottle rests Woodford Reserve’s signature Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, crafted from a traditional mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, and bottled at 90.4 Proof (45.2% ABV) following triple copper pot-still distillation.

In the glass, it presents a brilliant honey-amber hue. The nose opens with a rich bouquet of dried fruit, orange peel dusted with cocoa, gentle mint, and subtle tobacco spice. On the palate, a remarkably rich, chewy, and rounded mouthfeel delivers luscious layers of toffee, caramel, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and complex citrus. The finish is silky smooth and creamy, leaving a warm, lingering tail of spice and sweet oak.
