"What is Woodford Reserve Bourbon? Well obviously it's a bourbon. It's a bourbon whiskey. Bourbon whiskey's are made from 51percent or more corn. This is one of the oldest whiskeys around. I believe the distillery opened in 1812. It is also the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby. So that adds some fame to it. It's a little stronger than most bourbons it is 45.2 percent alcohol. So 90.4 proof. It is one of my favorite bourbons. It's very smooth, makes a great bourbon Manhattan. And also the official drink of the Kentucky Derby that is a Mint Julep and this is also great for that. And it's a highly distinguishable bottle. Thin, every bottle also is individually numbered and the batch also. Individually numbered."
