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.
