Smoke & Oak | Woodford

Friday, June 6 | 6PM – 8PM | The Paddock at Hotel Indy

Join us in The Paddock for another chapter of Smoke & Oak, our signature spirits and cigar series celebrating the craftsmanship behind America's finest whiskeys. On Thursday, June 6, we’re showcasing the elegant lineage of Woodford Reserve, a distillery revered for its balance, depth, and meticulous aging process.

Over the course of the evening, guests will explore a curated flight of four premium Woodford expressions—each one telling a story of tradition, innovation, and bold Kentucky character. From the classic Bourbon that started it all to the rare Madeira Finish, this is a journey through oak, fire, and time.

Expect flickering fire pits, smooth jazz, hand-rolled cigars, and a refined lounge atmosphere that makes The Paddock the perfect backdrop for sipping slow and savoring every pour.

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon
The iconic flagship. Rich, rounded, and perfectly balanced with notes of dried fruit, citrus, vanilla, and a hint of spice. A silky mouthfeel leads into a warm, elegant finish.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
A deeper dive into flavor. Aged first in new charred oak, then finished in a second deeply toasted barrel. Expect layers of dark chocolate, marzipan, toasted oak, and a long, smooth finish.

Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye
A high-rye mash bill with a spicy, herbal profile. Black pepper, tobacco, dried apple, and a crisp, dry finish make this a perfect counterpoint to sweeter pours.

Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection: Madeira Finish
Finished in Madeira wine casks, this limited release is rich and fruit-forward. Notes of raisin, fig, dried cherry, toasted almond, and warm baking spice create a luxurious finale.
