Overview
Woodford Reserve Distillery Series is a limited-release whiskey platform from Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky. The series gives Woodford Reserve a smaller-scale outlet for distillery-focused experiments, specialty finishes, and release concepts outside the permanent core lineup.
Compared with the nationally watched Master’s Collection, the Distillery Series often feels more closely connected to the visitor and enthusiast experience. It gives Woodford Reserve a way to explore limited ideas while maintaining the brand’s broader flavor-education identity.
Brand History
The Distillery Series developed as part of Woodford Reserve’s innovation program. The brand’s core lineup already covers bourbon, rye, malt, wheat, and Double Oaked, while limited platforms such as Master’s Collection and Distillery Series allow the distillery to test or showcase narrower concepts.
Because individual releases vary, the series is best treated as a platform rather than a single fixed whiskey.

Woodford Reserve Distillery Series is owned by Brown-Forman Corporation as part of the Woodford Reserve family.
Producing Distillery
Distillery Series releases are produced and selected by Woodford Reserve Distillery and Brown-Forman.
