2026 Edition Kentucky Derby # 152 - 1 Liter

For the 152nd Kentucky Derby, Woodford Reserve released a special-edition bottle featuring original artwork by Anna Murphy. 

Anna Murphy is a Chicago-based artist known for her blue-and-white porcelain-inspired art. She moved to Kentucky at the age of 12 and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Louisville. Her style of artwork combines the detail of fine art with the large scale of street murals. This year’s Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby bottle features her “Dress to Impress, 152” piece.

The design pays tribute to the iconic Kentucky Derby fashion with classic red roses and symbolic florals, including speedwell, “historically gifted for protection during travel,” according to Woodford Reserve’s press release. 

“'Dress to Impress, 152' is a radiant tribute to Derby fashion, where bold style, timeless tradition, and the spirit of celebration come to life,” said Murphy in the company’s press release. “At the heart of my work is a simple mission: to create beauty that leaves people feeling uplifted and carrying a little more wonder into the world.”
