Anniversary-Celebrating Charitable Cups

Woodford Reserve Introduces Two Exquisite Mint Julep Cups

— April 19, 2024 — Social Good
Woodford Reserve introduces its $1,000 and $5,000 Mint Julep cups to commemorate the 150th Running of The Kentucky Derby. Crafted by hand by Louisville-based jeweler From the Vault, each of the 300 rare julep cups features the iconic Twin Spires of Churchill Downs adorned in either emeralds or crystals. Each cup comes with a limited-edition coffee table book exploring the rich history of the event.

Woodford Reserve's exquisite Julep cups will serve a charitable purpose. Proceeds from these luxurious designs will support the Backside Learning Center, an independent non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and resources for racetrack workers and their families at Churchill Downs. The choice of charity underscores Woodford Reserve's commitment to giving back to the community and recognizing the unsung heroes of the sport.
