Woodford Reserve, a premium bourbon brand, is meticulously crafted by the Brown-Forman Corporation. This small-batch Kentucky whiskey is a blend of copper and column still spirits distilled by both the Woodford Reserve Distillery and Brown-Forman Distillery in Kentucky. With a history dating back to 1812, when it was originally known as the Labrot & Graham Distillery (previously the Old Oscar Pepper Distillery), Woodford Reserve was first introduced in 1996. The brand offers a range of acclaimed bourbons, including limited releases such as Woodford Reserve Master's Collection, a Kentucky-only Distillery Series, and an annual series of highly collectible special release bottlings, coinciding with its sponsorship of the Kentucky Derby. Since its inception, Woodford Reserve has become a top player in the American bourbon whiskey market, with over 1 million cases sold as of 2021.
