Woodford Reserve turns 30 this year, and the brand is celebrating with two limited-edition bourbons. According to the brand, the releases pay tribute to the distillery’s heritage and approach to whiskey-making. The 30th anniversary releases include the Woodford Distillery Series: Triple Pot Still and the Limited-Edition Personal Selection and Ceramic Decanter.

Distillery Series: Triple Pot Still

This whiskey is distilled using three copper pot stills, an approach Woodford Reserve used when the brand launched. It differs from the column stills used by many other distilleries. According to the brand, the release “showcases the traditional, robust flavor profile that defines the historic distillery site.”

Limited-Edition Personal Selection and Ceramic Decanter

This collector’s bottle is presented in a specially made ceramic decanter from Louisville Stoneware. The release features Double Oaked Single Barrel handpicked by master distiller Elizabeth McCall.

“From the beginning of the brand, Woodford Reserve has enticed consumers by our unique bottle design and our flavorful liquid, featuring more than 200 flavor notes,” said McCall in a release shared with Southern Living. “It’s now the top-selling super-premium American whiskey in the world and continues to grow, both in the United States and globally.” 

Both limited-edition bottles will be available for purchase at the Woodford Reserve Distillery gift shop and select Kentucky retailers later this month. The triple pot still bottle will be available beginning today, October 7, 2026 for $64.99, and the decanter bottles will be available beginning October 16, 2026.
