Woodford Reserve has been featured in such notable consumer publications as USA Today, The New York Times, and Food & Wine Magazine. Likewise, numerous trade publications in the U.S. and abroad have featured Woodford Reserve in articles publicizing the rebirth of Bourbon. And in Kentucky, the home of Bourbon, Woodford Reserve is now the state`s number one selling super-premium Bourbon, quickly outselling more established brands that have been in the market for years.
The brand`s unduplicated success is attributable to the Bourbon itself and the discerning judgment of the Master Distiller. Using his years of experience and knowledge, he selected only barrels whose whiskey had shown superior maturation qualities in their initial years. These barrels were set aside for Woodford Reserve, then moved to the 100-year-old stone warehouses at the Labrot & Graham Distillery to finish their maturation.
At Labrot & Graham the barrels experience the hot summers and cold winters that are important contributors to the maturation of fine whiskey. When the whiskey in these special barrels reaches its peak, it becomes Woodford Reserve.
Only from a facility as unique as Labrot & Graham could a whiskey as special as Woodford Reserve originate. Quickly becoming the gold standard against which all other Bourbons are measured, Woodford Reserve is a lasting testimony to the best of the distiller`s craft
