Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 142 Limited Edition 2016

Product Description

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 142 Limited Edition 2016 Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 142 Limited Edition commemorates the 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby in 2016. The bottle features artwork by equine artist Thomas Allen Pauly and contains Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon. It is the labeled commemorative presentation—not a different Derby-specific whiskey recipe—that makes this release collectible.

Tasting Notes

The bourbon inside follows Woodford Reserve’s balanced house style, bringing dried fruit, vanilla, toasted oak and baking spice. Bottle condition and seal integrity are particularly important for a 2016 collectible release.

Food Pairings

If opened, pair with roasted pecans, country ham, grilled steak or a caramel dessert. These flavors complement bourbon’s oak, fruit and baking-spice character.

How to Serve

Collectors may choose to retain the bottle sealed. If opened, serve neat or over a large cube; avoid using a limited Derby bottle where the presentation would be lost in a heavily flavored cocktail.
