Woodford Reserve®, the Presenting Sponsor of the Kentucky Derby®, is honoring “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” with the release of its 2026 commemorative Derby bottle. This year’s special release celebrates the 152nd running of the Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports. This year’s bottle features original artwork by Anna Murphy, a Chicago artist known for her signature ‘blue and white’ porcelain-inspired style.
Her artwork – “Dress to Impress, 152” – is a radiant tribute to Derby fashion, where bold style, timeless tradition, and the spirit of celebration come to life. The artwork also features the Derby’s iconic red roses and other symbolic florals, including speedwell, historically gifted for protection during travel.
