Tasting Notes
Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 149 is a limited-edition whiskey that celebrates the legacy of Secretariat, the legendary horse who won the 1973 Kentucky Derby with a record-breaking time that remains unbeaten. The nose is a symphony of rich dried fruits, with hints of mint and oranges dusted with cocoa, faint vanilla, and tobacco spice. The palate is a decadent treat, with a rich, chewy, rounded, and smooth texture that unveils complex flavors of citrus, cinnamon, and cocoa intertwined with toffee, caramel, chocolate, and spice notes. The finish is nothing short of silky-smooth, almost creamy at first, leaving a long, warm, and satisfying tail. The 1-litre bottle's artwork, titled "Still The Greatest," features a stunning painting by equine artist Jaime Corum, depicting Secretariat in the Winner's Circle at Churchill Downs, making this whiskey a true tribute to one of the greatest moments in horseracing history.
