The Kentucky distillery has teamed up with luxury designer Alexandra O’Neill, founder of [Markarian](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altuzarra), for its first-ever collaboration with a fashion brand. The limited-edition design captures Markarian’s signature aesthetic of vintage romance and modern sophistication, making the bottle as collectible as it is giftable. Adorned with a garland stripe of winter berries and stars against a muted sage backdrop, the design nods to nostalgic holiday motifs while maintaining an understated luxury feel. 'I wanted the bottle to feel like a beautifully wrapped gift -- precious and celebratory,' O’Neill shared. The one-liter bottle is available globally and online at shop.woodfordreserve.com, offering a perfect intersection of craftsmanship, heritage, and high design. By pairing fine bourbon with couture artistry, Woodford Reserve expands its brand identity beyond the distillery and into the realm of design-led gifting.
