The Woodford Reserve distillery belongs to the Brown-Forman group and is located in Woodford County, Kentucky, formerly known as Old Oscar Pepper Distillery and later Labrot & Graham Distillery.
Although not in continuous operation, the first whiskey was produced as early as 1812. The present main house has existed since 1838, making it one of the oldest in Kentucky.
Whiskey production in the United States is dominated by about a dozen large distilleries, so that almost all whiskey sold comes from a single distillery, and blended whiskey is almost non-existent as a mixture of the whiskey of several distilleries.
The terms single barrel for whiskey from a single cask and small batch for whiskey from a relatively small number of casks have become established as distinguishing features.
