About

Woodford Reserve is situated among beautiful horse farms in Versailles, KY - one of only places in Kentucky where Bourbon and thoroughbred horses mature side-by-side. The art of making fine bourbon first took place on this National Historic Landmark site in 1812, and the distillery features its own cooperage and unique heat-cycled warehouses.
