Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby Edition 151

This year, Woodford Reserve is once again celebrating the traditional Kentucky Derby with an exclusive special bottling: the 151st Kentucky Derby Edition 2025 is here – and offers everything to delight lovers of premium bourbon and high-quality catering and retail concepts.

The litre bottle once again impresses with an elaborately designed label featuring a hand-drawn scene from the world-famous horse race – The Run for the Roses. As a tribute to this special moment in the American sporting year, 2025 Roses also adorns the design.

With a strong alcohol content of 45.2 % vol., the Derby Edition is particularly rich in flavour – ideal for pure enjoyment, but also ideal for classic bourbon cocktails with sophistication.

Two signature cocktails for your bar menu or as a sales incentive

Mint Julep – the Kentucky Derby classic

The Mint Julep is an iconic Derby cocktail – and the 151st Derby Edition gives it a particularly aromatic depth. Despite its simplicity, it delights with complex, fresh notes and is the perfect cocktail for Derby-related events or as a signature drink on your menu.

Preparation:

Place the mint in a glass and press lightly to release the essential oils, add the bourbon and crushed ice and stir well. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a little powdered sugar.

Woodford Spire – fresh, modern, versatile

For guests who like it fruity and refreshing: the Woodford Spire combines the flavour of bourbon with a tangy citrus note and fruity cranberry – a modern drink with great audience potential.

Preparation:
Stir all the ingredients with ice, strain into a glass filled with crushed ice and finish with a lemon twist.
