Woodford Reserve $1,000 Mint Julep Honors Secretariat

News

April 14, 2023

The Woodford Reserve $1,000 Mint Julep charity program this year honors the 50th
anniversary of Secretariat winning The Kentucky Derby, a historic moment in
thoroughbred history.

A total of 150 cups will be available for purchase starting April 13. Cups must
be picked up at Churchill Downs on Derby Day at the $1,000 Mint Julep Experience
in the paddock.

This year, all proceeds benefit the Secretariat Foundation. The foundation was
created by Mrs. Penny Chenery, who owned Secretariat, to support thoroughbred
and equine-related industries. Chenery passed away in 2017, but her children
continue operating the charity in her memory.

Handmade by Louisville-based jeweler From the Vault, each cup features a design
of Secretariat’s famed blue and white checkered silks in sapphires. One side of
the cup features an engraving of 1973, the year Secretariat won The Kentucky
Derby, and the other features 2023.

Of the 150 cups available, 100 are silver cups retailing for $1,000, and 50 are
gold cups retailing for $3,500. Everyone purchasing the gold cups will have
their names engraved on the bottom (purchase must be made before April 26)and
they will receive the handwritten autograph of Secretariat Jockey Ron Turcotte.
All cups will be nestled in silk artwork of Secretariat in the Winner’s Circle
at Churchill Downs.

The mint julep recipe features Woodford Reserve Bourbon and handmade chestnut
liqueur, which honors Secretariat’s chestnut coat, as well as mint and Virginia
bluebell flowers to celebrate the state where Secretariat was born.

“Secretariat is one of the most iconic thoroughbreds in horse racing history,
and it’s an honor to celebrate his enduring legacy through our $1,000 Mint Julep
program,” said Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall. “The money
raised from this charity program will help ensure the impact of Secretariat is
told for many years to come.”

2 oz. Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

1 oz. chestnut liqueur

1 sprig of mint, for garnish

1 stalk of Virginia bluebells, for garnish

Directions: Mix, then pour over a julep cup filled with crushed ice. Garnish
