Fallon Honors Woodford Reserve’s Official Bourbon Sponsorship of Kentucky Derby
Posted in: UncategorizedIt’s no secret that bourbon and the Kentucky Derby go hand-in-hand.
During this year’s Derby broadcast on May 2, spirits brand Brown-Forman/Woodford Reserve brought its specially crafted Derby bottles to life at Churchill Downs in an ad from Fallon.
The spot, aptly dubbed “Bottle Run,” features animated Woodford Reserve bottles having their own battle on the racetrack. In turn, the ad honors not only Woodford’s status as the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby but its longtime affiliation with other racing events like the Preakness and Belmont.
Now all we need is a dapper hat a mint julep and we’re good to go.
There’s also a little making-of clip that features equine artist Carole Andreen-Harris (maker of the 2015 Kentucky Derby Woodford Reserve bottles) here.
