Woodford Reserve Limited 151 Kentucky Derby $5,000 Mint Julep Cup
With the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby only weeks away, Woodford Reserve, the official bourbon of the Derby, has just released two classy Mint Julep Cups. It is the Derby after all, and Mint Juleps are a must! But be prepared for the price tag as these bad boys will set you back either $1,000 or $5,000.
The $5,000 Mint Julep Cup® charity program honors the 151st Kentucky Derby® that takes place on Saturday, May 3, 2025 with a total of 151 hand-crafted julep cups. 51 fine polished pewter cups for $1,000 and 100 sterling silver cups with a heavy 24 karat gold plate for $5,000 are available for purchase. Cups are adorned with sterling silver accents, including the iconic Derby trophy, and embellished with lab-grown white and pink sapphires. Claim yours before they’re gone by clicking here.
Your purchase also includes exclusive access to Woodford Reserve’s $5,000 Mint Julep Cup Experience at Churchill Downs on Oaks and Derby day.
Oaks and Derby attendees can purchase online and must pick up at the $5,000 Mint Julep Cup Tent at Churchill Downs on Derby or Oaks day. Must have a valid Oaks or Derby ticket to access the $5,000 Mint Julep Cup Tent. This year’s cup honors the three legendary fillies that have won the Kentucky Derby®
“As we anticipate the 151st Run for the Roses, we celebrate the exceptional fillies who have etched their names in Derby history,” stated Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall. “Perhaps this year we will witness the crowning of another champion filly.”
The Mint Julep Cups are an annual tradition benefiting a charity. This year’s charity program is Our Mims Retirement Haven, a nonprofit dedicated to the rescue, revitalization and care of retired thoroughbred racehorses and broodmares.
