Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 127 1L
Lot number: 091-3162
Winning bid: £45
In the early 1800s, thanks to owner and crafter Elijah Pepper and the experiementation years later of Master Distiller James Christopher Crow, Woodford County Distillery was the site for landmark discoveries and innovative techniques in bourbon making.
Pepper and Crow are credited with refining and defining key processes such as sour mashing, yeast propagation, copper pot distillation and the maturing of whiskey in new, charred oak casks. Their work defined bourbon - and subsequently - rye whiskey as we know them today. The distillery also has one of the few heat-cycled barrelhouses in the world ensuring maximum char and toasting. Bottled for the 127th Kentucky Derby which ran in 2001.
