The art of making fine bourbon first took place at the Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, in 1812. You get that sense of history. The history of bourbon is the history of Kentucky, it's the history of the United States.
Chris and Elizabeth have been instrumental in driving innovation and shaping the history of Woodford Reserve, sharing the belief that the secrets to making the world's finest bourbon lie not only in time and patience, but also in science and art. Chris began his bourbon career in 1976, while Elizabeth transitioned from her 9-year tenure in R&D to Assistant Master Distiller in 2018. Together, they create whiskies that are a spectacle for the senses.
