Woodford Reserve is a premium small batch Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by the Brown-Forman Corporation and distilled at the company's Woodford Reserve Distillery. It is marketed under the distillery's former name of Labrot & Graham, located in Woodford County, Kentucky, United States. Formerly known as the Old Oscar Pepper Distillery owned by Labrot & Graham, the operation is located approximately eight miles from the town of Versailles off U.S. Route 60, between Interstate 64 and Versailles.

A batch number can be found on each bottle, along with the bottle's individual number within that batch. Although no age statement is given on the bottle. U.S. law requires that any bourbon which is aged less than four years must have an age statement, so the Woodford Reserve offerings must by law be at least four years old.
