Woodford Reserve is a brand of premium small batch bourbon whiskey made in the Labrot & Graham's Old Oscar Pepper Distillery, near Versailles, Woodford County, Kentucky. The name was changed to The Woodford Reserve Distillery in 2003. The distillery is located in the heart of the horse farming country, off U.S. Route 60 between Interstate 64 and Versailles, offers tours, and is part of the American Whiskey Trail and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
Woodford Reserve is the "Official Bourbon" of two of horse racing's most important events: The Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup. It is a 90.4 proof bourbon. One of the notable features is the numbering system that is used on each bottle.
Every bottle is individually numbered with the batch number and bottle number. The distillery itself has been in operation since 1812, making it one of the oldest of nine working bourbon distilleries in Kentucky. In 1995, the distillery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2000, it was designated a National Historic Landmark.
