Tickets are now on sale for the Kentucky Derby Museum's Secretariat Bourbon Dinner, presented by Fifth Third Bank, happening April 20. Guests at this launch party will have several exclusive experiences and opportunities, including being the first to explore the new exhibit, Secretariat: America's Horse, before it opens to the public April 21.
At the dinner, guests will view never-before-seen video of Secretariat's connections. Along with a seated dinner, guests will enjoy a pour of the rare Double Double Oaked Woodford Reserve, while learning from Woodford Reserve Master Distillers Chris Morris and Elizabeth McCall.
VIP tickets cost $250 each, and Dinner Party tickets cost $200 each.
Dinner guests will also have a guaranteed opportunity to purchase one Secretariat Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Personal Selection Box Set. Guests will also have the exclusive opportunity to have their bottle signed by Woodford Reserve Master Distillers Chris Morris and Elizabeth McCall.
Secretariat Bourbon Box Sets now available for purchase
While securing a seat to the Secretariat Bourbon Dinner is the only way to guarantee a chance to purchase a Secretariat Bourbon Box Set, the Museum is providing two additional releases to give the public opportunities to secure the highly unique collector's item.
The Museum's two personal barrel selections are the only Personal Selection picks from Woodford Double Oaked for all of 2022. The yield from the selections allowed for the creation of only 400 Bourbon Box Sets. The sets include a beautiful collector's box, a Secretariat 50th Anniversary Medallion with signature of jockey Ron Turcotte, a Secretariat 50th Anniversary Julep Cup, and a Secretariat 50th Anniversary Tac Pin.
Each Box Set costs $750 plus sales tax. Bourbon experts and writers have already regarded these boxes as extremely valuable collector's items.
First Release: As of March 9, a limited number of Bourbon Box Sets are now available for purchase at the Derby Museum Store and on the Store's website. Several customers were lined up at the Museum's front doors Thursday morning as early as 6:45 A.M. to be the first to purchase box sets in-person at the Kentucky Derby Museum Store when it opened at 9 A.M.
Second Release: Once the first round of Box Sets are sold out, a second round will be released for purchase exlusively for Secretariat Bourbon Dinner guests.
Third Release: The third and final release will include the remaining Box Sets, available for purchase on April 21 in the Derby Museum Store and on the Store's website.
Box Sets will not be available for purchase over the phone. Due to Kentucky State law, Bourbon Box sets cannot be shipped and must be picked up in person at the Kentucky Derby Museum Store.

Kentucky Derby Museum is thrilled to announce two winners of the Secretariat Bourbon Box Sets have been selected at random. Lottery winners William Sedlock III and Ginger Bennett have been notified for their chance to purchase Bourbon Box Set #73 from Batch I and Bourbon Box Set #73 from Batch II.
