2020 Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 146th Edition Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1Lt

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 146th Edition 90.4 Proof (45.2% ABV) is a high-intent 2020 commemorative release from the Woodford Reserve Distillery (DSP-KY-11). This expression is historically significant as it marks the 21st year Woodford Reserve has served as the “Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby.” Beyond the liquid, this 1-liter bottling is a primary target for collectors due to the specific timing of the 146th Run for the Roses, which was famously rescheduled to September for the first time in history.

The technical presentation features custom label artwork by Louisville artist Richard Sullivan, a former professional baseball player whose watercolor aesthetic captures the intensity of the Thoroughbreds at the finish line. Utilizing the distillery’s signature 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley mash bill, the spirit was matured in heat-cycled stone warehouses to ensure a structurally dense profile. It remains a definitive benchmark for collectors of historical American sporting heritage and Kentucky bourbon iconography.
