It is likely the biggest event in Kentucky each year – the Kentucky Derby horse race. Held in early May annually, it is a prime time advertising opportunity for the bourbon brands in that state. Woodford Reserve is one of those, being the “Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby” once again. It is showing off this horse racing pride via rather striking artwork on a new commemorative Derby bottle.

The artwork adorning the Woodford Reserve 2016 Kentucky Derby Bourbon bottle was done by one Thomas Allen Pauly, an award winning equine artist.
