Description
The 2017 Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby 143rd Edition is a 90.4 proof (45.2% ABV) commemorative limited allocation honoring the 143rd running of the “Run for the Roses.” This exclusive 1-liter bottling features the signature artwork of renowned equine artist Thomas Allen Pauly, marking his second consecutive year designing the commemorative label. The piece, titled “Spirit of 143,” utilizes an elevated perspective to capture the thundering field of thoroughbreds charging toward the iconic Twin Spires of Churchill Downs.
Distilled via triple copper pot stills at the Versailles distillery (DSP-KY-52), the bourbon is composed of a 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley mash bill. Maturation in heat-cycled warehouses delivers a technical profile of honey, cocoa, and toasted oak with a lingering ginger spice finish. This 1-liter allocated spirit remains a vital acquisition for collectors completing the Thomas Allen Pauly artistic era of the Derby vertical.
