We Tried Woodford Reserve's New $15,000 Kentucky Derby Bourbon

Woodford Reserve is commemorating the upcoming 150th running of the Kentucky Derby with a bottle worthy of the winner’s circle. Announced Monday, the Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 150 Baccarat Edition is the rarest whiskey in the brand’s 27-year history, and the 150 bottles start at $15,000.

This limited-edition whiskey has rested in three casks: the original bourbon barrel, a cognac cask and a couture barrel whose staves were seasoned in the Kentucky Derby Winner’s Circle. Presented in a handmade crystal decanter created by Baccarat, each bottle arrives in a bespoke case with leather from Scotland. To pay homage to the garland of roses, given each year to the winning horse, Baccarat infused the decanter’s crystal stopper with 24K gold, which features a rather striking red color.
