SUMMARY: Woodford Reserve is celebrating the 151st Kentucky Derby with a special $5,000 Mint Julep served in exquisite gold-plated cups featuring the Derby trophy and synthetic pink sapphires. Master distiller Elizabeth McCall highlights the tribute to the three rare female Kentucky Derby winners by tailoring the julep recipe to honor them, using three types of mint—chocolate, spearmint, and peppermint—and Woodford Reserve bourbon. The event supports a charity in Paris, Kentucky, providing sanctuary for broodmares, honoring mares that have contributed to the thoroughbred industry. The celebration took place at Churchill Downs during Derby weekend.
