Woodford Reserve marked the occasion with a Kentucky native artist whose work is immediately identifiable: Wylie Caudill is known for his bold, repetitive patterns and his mastery of the rose as a visual motif, making him a natural choice for an anniversary Derby bottle whose central symbol is the blanket of red roses draped over the winner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWoodford Reserve has served as the Presenting Sponsor of the Kentucky Derby since 1999 and releases a new limited-edition commemorative bottle every year, each featuring a different commissioned artwork. The 150th Edition represents a significant milestone in both the race's history and the commemorative bottle program that has accompanied it for more than a quarter century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and gentle spice — the classic Woodford Reserve profile\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, baking spice, chocolate, and oak with rounded fruit complexity from triple copper pot still distillation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-long with warm spice and caramel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Woodford Reserve Distillery, Versailles, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45.2% (90.4 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRace:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150th Kentucky Derby, 2024\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wylie Caudill (Kentucky native)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eArtwork:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eAdorned in Roses\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Liter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/woodford-reserve\"\u003eWoodford Reserve collection at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the 150th Derby significant for collectors?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 150th running is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone race.
