Woodford Reserve is a super-premium small batch bourbon produced at the Woodford Reserve Distillery (circa 1812), a National Historic Landmark in the bluegrass region of central Kentucky.

In May, 2000, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt announced the designation of the Labrot & Graham Distillery in Woodford County, Kentucky, as a National Historic Landmark. Labrot & Graham was one of 15 properties in 10 states recommended to the Secretary for this designation by the National Park System Advisory Board for their national significance in American history and culture.

In recommending Labrot & Graham as a National Historic Landmark, the advisory board said: "As the birthplace of Bourbon in the 1830's, this site illustrates, like no other property, the history of Bourbon distillation in Kentucky. With its intact rural setting, Labrot & Graham presents the evolution of the craft from the traditional pot still distilling of farmers during the 19th century to the mature and highly specialized industry of the post-Repeal era. Of all Kentucky distilleries, Labrot & Graham is closely associated with the development of Bourbon as a distinctive Kentucky alcoholic beverage and the one that became the leading export of the United States."
