Discover the Woodford Reserve Global Bar Exchange 2024
What is the Global Bar Exchange?
Woodford Reserve®, the best-selling super premium+ American whiskey in the world (IWSR, US Whisky Volume Sales, 2023), proudly presents the return of its Global Bar Exchange program. This initiative is designed to inspire and connect influential bar partners across 13 international markets through culturally infused, sensational experiences.
Experience the Journey
From September to November 2024, the Global Bar Exchange will unite leading bar talents from around the world. Participants will be paired with another globally respected bar and immersed in the flavor culture of their partner city through a curated cultural itinerary. They will create unique Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned cocktails inspired by the flavors, stories, and experiences of their visit, culminating in a collaborative guest shift at the host bar.
