About Woodford ReserveUnited States
Woodford Reserve Distillery stands in Woodford County, Kentucky, about eight miles from Versailles, on a site where bourbon was first made in 1812 and which is now a National Historic Landmark. The site was later known as the Oscar Pepper Distillery, and in 1878 the Pepper family sold it to Leopold Labrot and James Graham. Brown-Forman Corporation bought it in 1941, sold it in the late 1960s, bought it back in 1993, and launched the Woodford Reserve brand in 1996. The distillery triple distills its spirit in copper pot stills and blends it with column still spirit from a Brown-Forman facility in Louisville. Its limited releases are the yearly Master's Collection, which reached its 22nd release in 2026, and the Distillery Series of experimental bottlings in 375ml bottles.
