A special bottling of Woodford Reserve to commemorate the 132nd Kentucky Derby, which took place on May 6th 2006. This is part of an annual limited edition release series.
The original Woodford Reserve distillery was founded by Elijah Pepper in 1797. The current site was built in 1838. It was sold to Leopold Labrot & James Graham in 1878, who owned it through Prohibition and into World War Two. After wartime restrictions bankrupted Labrot & Graham, the distillery was taken over by Brown-Forman.
The distillery then operated until 1968 when the distillery was mothballed and abandoned for decades. In 1993 Brown-Forman took the decision to install new pot stills and production resumed in 1994.
