Distillery Information
Woodford Reserve is without a doubt one of the most popular bourbons at the premium price point. American Whiskey giant, Brown-Forman, launched the brand in 1996. The site of the present-day distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, can trace its distilling roots back to 1797, when Elijah Pepper arrived in Versailles and began distilling corn into whiskey. Elijah Pepper moved his operation to the current Woodford Reserve site at Glenn’s Creek in 1812. In 1835, Oscar Pepper, Elijah’s son, took over the distillery and hired a Scottish Scientist named Dr. James C. Crow to become the head distiller. Dr. Crow is often credited with introducing the practice of using sour mash in the fermentation process. The distillery was purchased in 1878 by a French wine merchant named Leopold Labrot and a Kentucky businessman named James Graham. The distillery remained in the Labrot family until 1940 when Brown-Forman purchased it for the first time. With the decline in the bourbon category, Brown-Forman sold off Labrot and Graham Distillery in 1971, only to repurchase the same distillery in 1994. Brown-Forman would name their new bourbon after Woodford County, the country in which it is produced. In 2005, the Labrot and Graham Distillery was renamed the Woodford Reserve Distillery and is recognized as the oldest distillery in Kentucky. The distillery was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000. Located an hour east of Louisville, in between Frankfort and Lexington, the Woodford Reserve is one of the most beautiful distilleries to tour on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.® I would highly recommend visiting.
