Woodford returns with their signature Bourbon in an annual Kentucky Derby limited edition bottle.

There has been distilling on the Woodford Reserve Distillery site for more than 235 years, making it the oldest Bourbon distillery in Kentucky. Now owned by Brown-Forman — one of America’s largest wine and spirits companies — it has been refitted and set to expand. Since the beginning, the folks at Woodford have been influential in the development and codifying of Bourbon production. In short, they helped invent the spirit as we know and love it today.

The Kentucky Derby is the biggest event in The Bourbon State each year. So, it’s not surprising that Woodford pulls out all the stops with their commemorative editions. Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 146 Limited Edition starts with their famous mash bill — 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley. And all Woodford Bourbons are aged in new, #4 charred American white oak. The Whiskey is the classic, sweet Woodford dram we all love delivered in a limited edition, one-liter commemorative bottle featuring art by noted sports painter Richard Sullivan.

Smartass corner:
Woodford began the special Derby edition bottle program in 1999, making this the 21st release. They have become hot collector’s items — full and empty — and each release sells out quickly.

Sure, Kentucky gets all the press when it comes to Bourbon. And with good reason—nearly 95% of it is produced there. But Bourbon can be made anywhere as long as it's within the United States. Just ask states with budding distilleries like Illinois and New York.
Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.

Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.

Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
