Woodford Reserve®, the Presenting Sponsor of the Kentucky Derby® honors “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” with the release of the 2023 commemorative Derby bottle.
This year’s special release celebrates the 50th anniversary of one of the most iconic moments in sports history – Secretariat winning the 1973 Derby, still the fastest at 1:59 2/5.
The bottle features the artwork of Kentucky native Jaime Corum, known for her stunning horse portraits. Her painting captures Secretariat in the Winner’s Circle at Churchill Downs, entitled “Secretariat – Still the Greatest”.

Great taste and beautiful bottle
I love bourbon and this is excellent. And, I really loved seeing Secretariat and Ron Turcotte again. I am old enough to remember watching all three Triple Crown races and Secretariat’s amazing performance in the Belmont. Woodford and Secretariat a great duo.

My wife saw the Secretariat Woodford Reserve bottle advertised pre-sale and said she would love to have one.!so I ordered from The Barrel Tap and surprised her with one. She loves it and I do as well. Probably won’t open it either.
