Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon



The Kentucky Derby "the most exciting two minutes in sports"!


The Kentucky Derby is unlike any other sporting event! With a crowd of more than 150,000 people, unparalleled history and tradition and its unique spectacle, the Kentucky Derby has been described by Forbes as one of the "Greatest Bucket-list Sporting Events" in America. Every year, on the first Saturday in May, thousands of guests gather under the Twin Spires at Churchill Downs to create lifelong memories with their friends and family.

If you're not there, then join us at Gotham Wines to celebrate an overdue spring day (hopefully) and the DERBY! Mint Juleps will flow made with the official bourbon of this year's Derby, Woodford Reserve.

Dress up (the Kentucky Derby is the world's largest and most entertaining fashion show, with spectacular hats and outfits - or not) and stop by, to enjoy a bourbon tasting and a mint julep.
You can even watch the race with us.

Cheers!
