Edición 150 del Derby de Kentucky de la Reserva Woodford

Tasting Notes

This celebratory Derby release from Woodford Reserve is as stately as the event it honors. The nose delivers deep vanilla bean, candied walnut, saddle leather, and roasted corn, all gently laced with nutmeg and orange blossom. On the palate, it presents a medley of toasted grain, espresso crema, cocoa powder, and burnt sugar, offering depth and refinement in every sip. Hints of stone fruit—apricot and baked peach—emerge mid-palate, alongside seasoned oak and dry cinnamon bark. The finish is long and gently spicy, tapering with dry herbs and vanilla custard, wrapped in a warming Kentucky hug.

Food Pairings

Serve with bourbon-glazed pork belly or grilled duck breast with cherry-port reduction to complement the whiskey’s fruit and spice complexity. Cheese courses with aged manchego or a whiskey-washed rind cheese highlight the earthy notes. For dessert, try a bourbon pecan tart or bittersweet chocolate soufflé—each a mirror of the whiskey’s rich, toasted sweetness.
