About Woodford Reserve
Woodford Reserve is built on one of the most historic sites in American whiskey. Distilling first took place at the Woodford County site in 1812, and the property is now recognised as a National Historic Landmark. The modern Woodford Reserve brand was launched by Brown-Forman in 1996, drawing on that older Labrot & Graham distillery heritage while establishing itself as a premium Kentucky bourbon in its own right.
Woodford Reserve is one of Kentucky’s most respected premium bourbon brands, produced at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery in the heart of the Bluegrass State. Known for its rich, full-bodied character, it is crafted using a unique combination of pot still distillation and traditional column still whiskey, then matured in new charred oak barrels to develop depth and complexity.
The result is a smooth, well-balanced bourbon with layers of vanilla, dried fruit, spice and toasted oak. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice or in classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Mint Julep, Woodford Reserve delivers a refined and approachable expression of classic Kentucky bourbon.
