Why Gifted Pour recommends it
Built for the Derby fan, the bourbon collector, or anyone who loves a bottle with a story, this commemorative release honors the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby with artwork by Humberto Lahera. His piece, Carrera Dinamica, captures racehorses in full stride, so the bottle earns a place on the shelf long after the last pour. Inside is Kentucky straight bourbon from Woodford Reserve at 90.4 proof, with a warm nose of toasted oak, vanilla, caramel and dried fruit, then dark chocolate, brown sugar, cinnamon and toasted nuts on the palate, lifted by a light minty freshness. The finish runs long with oak, sweet tobacco and leather. It makes a considered gift for a Derby party host, a horse racing enthusiast, or a milestone like a promotion or Father's Day. The recipient can sip it neat from a Glencairn, add a large cube to draw out caramel and spice, or stir up a Mint Julep on race day, with a liter-sized bottle offering plenty to share.
