The art of making small batch super-premium bourbon first tool place on the site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, in 1812. Woodford Reserve Distillery is not only one of Kentucky's oldest and smallest distilleries, but also a National Historic Landmark. Apart from our iconic copper pot stills, we also boast one of the only heat cycled barrelhouse in the world, ensuring every drop seeps into the charred and toasted white oak, giving Woodford Reserve its colour and signature flavour.
