The world's finest bourbon
Our StoryStraight Bourbon Whiskey
Perfectly Balanced
The art of making fine bourbon first took place on the site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, in 1812.

Learn MoreDouble Oaked
Twice-Barreled Bourbon
An innovative approach to twice-barreled bourbon creates the rich and colorful flavor of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Uniquely matured in separate, charred oak barrels – the second barrel deeply toasted before a light charring – extracts additional soft, sweet oak character.

A Fruit-Forward Whiskey
