Woodford Reserve, the Presenting Sponsor of the Kentucky Derby, honors "The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports" with the release of the 2024 commemorative Derby bottle.
This year's special release features the artwork of Kentucky native Wylie Caudill, known for his bold, repetitive patterns, and his signature roses. His painting, "Adorned in Roses," depicts a racing thoroughbred covered with red roses, with a background of multi-colored roses.
One of the reasons we love to promote Woodford Reserve around Derby time (and the rest of the year) is because, year-in and year-out, whether there's a beautiful painting adorning the handsome bottle or not, the Bourbon inside is delicious. Sip it neat? You bet. Cocktails? Line 'em up. Dab a drop or two behind your ears to drive the member of your desired sex crazy? Of course... as long as your choice in partners equals your choice in whiskey. This is a benchmark, cornerstone whiskey that has helped to sustain the American bourbon resurgence over the last couple of decades-- it's very well-made, widely available, delicious and fairly priced.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Heavy with rich dried fruit, with hints of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa, faint vanilla and tobacco spice.
Palate: Rich, chewy, rounded and smooth, with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa. Toffee, caramel, chocolate and spice notes abound.
Finish: Silky-smooth, almost creamy at first, with a long, warm satisfying tail.
