Woodford Reserve Sets $5,000 Price for Gold Derby Cups

By Woodford Reserve Distillery | Week of April 6, 2026

Woodford Reserve announced its 2026 Mint Julep Charity Cup program, timing the release to commemorate America's 250th anniversary alongside the 152nd Kentucky Derby. The distillery will offer 152 hand-crafted julep cups: 76 polished pewter expressions at $2,000 each and 76 gold-plated versions commanding $5,000 apiece. Net proceeds benefit the nonprofit Closely Crafted, though those prices put these collectibles well beyond reach of most Derby fans.
