The Mint Julep is the signature cocktail of the Kentucky Derby, and Woodford Reserve is its official bourbon. Here's how to make the perfect one at home.
Woodford Reserve is a super-premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey crafted at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky — the oldest distilling site on the National Register of Historic Places. Our signature bourbon is triple-distilled in copper pot stills and aged in new charred oak barrels, producing over 200 detectable flavor notes. The mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley delivers a rich, full-bodied profile of vanilla, toasted oak, caramel, dark chocolate, and citrus. As the Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby, Woodford Reserve has earned thirteen gold medals, including Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
