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.

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.

What sets Woodford Reserve apart is the way it combines that history with a distinctive production style. It is known for triple distillation in copper pot stills, an unusually long fermentation of around six days, and a flavour profile built around spice, fruit, sweet aromatics and oak rather than sheer weight alone. The brand has also become closely associated with the Kentucky Derby, serving as its Official Bourbon since the late 1990s.
