The Kentucky Derby® is right around the corner – April 30 and May 1, 2021! There are two things you need to celebrate Derby Day: a cocktail and a fascinator. The Woodford Spire is the official cocktail for the Kentucky Derby®, or any summertime celebration, and it’s crafted with the Woodford Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Woodford Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey is comprised of more than 200 detectable flavor notes, from bold grain and wood, to sweet aromatics, spice, and fruit & floral notes.
- NOSE: Heavy with rich dried fruit, hints of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa. Faint vanilla and tobacco spice.
- TASTE: Rich, chewy, rounded, and smooth, with complex citrus, cinnamon, and cocoa. Toffee, caramel, chocolate, and spice notes abound.
- FINISH: Silky smooth, almost creamy at first with a long, warm satisfying tail
I love how smooth The Woodford Spire cocktail is with sweet and tangy notes from the lemonade and cranberry juice – I’ll be sipping on this throughout the summer!
