New Products

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby Edition. We expect to receive the usual limited allocation of these 1 liter commemorative bottles in the upcoming week. The Derby itself is only one month away, so it's time to break out the mint and practice making those Mint Juleps. Woodford Reserve is a longtime sponsor (17 years) of the Kentucky Derby. This year's limited-edition Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby bottle features the artwork from elite equine artist Carole Andreen-Harris.

Harris' main image on the bottle is bold and vibrant, featuring six horses with their jockeys in colorful silks rounding the first turn on their quest to win the big race. The historic Twin Spires are centered prominently in the background alongside an image of the packed stands of fans cheering them on to victory.

$41.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Patrón Extra Anejo 7 Anos is an exquisite tequila, aged in French oak barrels for seven years, producing limited quantities of an incredibly rare spirit. To commemorate this exclusive release, it’s presented in a replica of the very first hand-blown glass Patrón bottle and stopper.
