Woodford Reserve bourbon is offering a luxury $1,000 mint julep cup experience for this year's Kentucky Derby. Woodford Researve will be selling 73 silver cups designed by Tiffany & Co. exclusively for Woodford Reserve. Proceeds from the cups will benefit The Barnstable Brown Kentucky Diabetes & Obesity Center.
Owners of the luxury Mint Julep Cup will be served a mint julep at the Kentucky Derby featuring a unique set of ingredients:
- Organic Turbinado raw-cane sugar made from 100 percent organic sugar cane grown in Brazil. Woodford says the sugar provides a "smooth, mellow and roundedflavor, perfect for the world's most exotic Mint Julep."
- A special Kentucky Colonel Mint from Louisville, KY which was grown in a used Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrel.
- Ice made of water from a 10,000-year-old glacier in the far northern region of the Pacific Ocean near the Gulf of Alaska.
- A small batch of the Master Distiller's personal selection of Woodford Reserve super-premium bourbon.
