Woodford Reserves unveils Kentucky Derby bottle

LOUISVILLE, KY - Adding to its reputation as the signature bourbon of Thoroughbred racing, Woodford Reserve®, the “Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby®” is honoring the country’s favorite horse race with the release of its 2013 Kentucky Derby commemorative bottle.  A product of the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, this year’s limited-edition bottle features the artwork of Oregon-based painter Eric Bowman.

Bowman’s picture on the bottle depicts a crisp, sunny Kentucky Derby day, with blue skies over the historic Twin Spires. A close-up of two horses are shown racing neck and neck down the track in front of the spires, kicking up dirt as they fight towards the finish line. Two jockeys in colorful silks are saddled on the horses, galloping them towards the prize.

FRANKFORT, KY - The Old Governor’s Mansion in Frankfort is being transformed into an “inspired Christmas in a historical setting,” showcasing the talents and creativity of 11 designers from throughout Kentucky.  Presented by Flower Magazine and L.V. Harkness, the mansion will be open to the public for daily tours starting today through Sunday, Dec. 9. 

“The Old Governor’s Mansion holds a particularly special place in my heart because it was our home when Steve was lieutenant governor,” said Mrs. Beshear. “Since that time, the mansion has been beautifully restored and now is the perfect backdrop for Kentucky designers to display their creative and decorative talents. I encourage everyone to visit the mansion during this event and truly experience a beautiful and historical Kentucky Christmas.”
