Woodford Reserve Bourbon releases Kentucky Derby 136 commemorative bottle. Like nurturing a champion thoroughbred, the art of crafting fine bourbon whiskey takes time, patience & attention to detail. So it is with Woodford Reserve, the Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby, which honours the country's favourite horse race with a limited-edition Kentucky Derby commemorative bottle. The 2010 bottle features the work of nationally-acclaimed, Louisville-based artist Jeaneen Barnhart. When creating this special painting, my intent was to reveal the energy & emulate the figures through loose interpretation of uninhibited line & depth, said Barnhart. It's the heart, the bones, the muscle & the mind that open my eye to deeper expression.
