In pictures: Woodford Reserve runs 2024 Mouttet Mile
Caymanas Park earlier this month delivered a show-stopping spectacle with the third staging of the Mouttet Mile. At the heart of the horseracing event was Woodford Reserve, which not only served as the drink of choice but solidified its position as the breakout bourbon for the season and beyond.
Crafted in Kentucky, USA, Woodford Reserve is celebrated for its balanced, rich flavour and meticulous craftsmanship. Consistently ranked as a top premium bourbon, it is lauded for its versatility in cocktails and its accessibility.
Exclusively distributed in the island by Caribbean Producers Jamaica, Woodford Reserve offers three standout expressions: Straight Bourbon, described as rich, smooth with hints of citrus, cinnamon, and cocoa, and a warm, satisfying finish; Double Oaked, described as a full-bodied mix of vanilla, dark caramel, and fruit, with a creamy finish; and Rye Whiskey, touted as spicy with clove, rye, and mint, balanced by molasses and honeyed apple.
At the Mouttet Mile, Woodford Reserve’s presence was undeniable. The fifth face on the card, “The Woodford Way,” celebrated the brand’s commitment to excellence. Attendees enjoyed specially curated Woodford cocktails throughout the day, showcasing its versatility.
Woodford Reserve gifts were awarded to the Best Dressed Male and Female, adding sophistication to the event. Grammy-winning Estelle and actor Stephen Bishop also received exclusive Woodford gifts, marking the occasion.
