About this bottle

For the 19th straight year, Woodford Reserve has been the “Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby." During the 2016 event, renowned equine artist, Thomas Allen Pauly was given the opportunity to witness and photograph the races from the roof of Churchill Downs. This served as inspiration for the 143rd commemorative bottling that features his artwork for the second year in a row, and a rare perspective of the Kentucky Derby. These liter-sized bottles will be hitting shelves in March 2017, just in time for the May 6, 2017 event in Louisville. Like past releases, the juice inside is the flagship Woodford Reserve Bourbon bottled at 45.2% ABV.

[5.6.2017] I can't give you many tasting notes on this. I made it into mint juleps like it was intended. And they were awesome. Always Dreaming the winner, and there goes another $5.

Unless you like to collect the bottles skip this and go for the regular Woodford reserve.
