The holidays call for something truly special, and Woodford Reserve X Markarian Holiday Bourbon delivers a spirit as memorable as the season itself. This limited-edition collaboration marries Woodford’s time-honored bourbon-making tradition with Markarian’s artistic vision, creating a bottle that is as much a collector’s piece as it is a holiday pour.

WHY BUY: Woodford Reserve has long been celebrated for its balanced, full-bodied style, and this holiday release adds a layer of festive exclusivity. Crafted in collaboration with Markarian, the bottle itself is designed to be a centerpiece for your celebrations — a gift-worthy release that unites premium bourbon and artistry in one.

THE BACKGROUND: Woodford Reserve is distilled in Versailles, Kentucky, where every batch is produced using copper pot stills and aged in new, charred oak barrels. This holiday edition draws from those same principles but comes dressed in a limited collaboration with Markarian, a nod to both fine whiskey and fine design. Together, they’ve crafted a seasonal release that honors bourbon tradition while celebrating the artistry of the holidays.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING: Early collectors describe the Markarian Holiday Bourbon as “a true gift bottle” and “a must-have centerpiece for bourbon fans.” Whiskey enthusiasts praise its familiar Woodford balance of sweet aromatics, dried fruit, and oak, paired with the holiday packaging that makes it stand out.
