Major Kentucky Distillery Limited Releases and Visitor Updates
Four Roses and Maker’s Mark have announced their 2026 limited editions. The details below summarize the releases, not live bottle inventory. Travelers based near Barren River Lake should confirm stock before making a longer day trip.
Limited Releases
Four Roses announced an October 10, 2026 launch for its barrel-strength Limited Edition Small Batch, at select retailers and its Lawrenceburg visitor center while supplies last. Maker’s Mark identifies its 2026 Cellar Aged as a cask-strength blend of 11-, 12- and 14-year-old bourbons. Four Roses: 2026 release announcement Maker’s Mark: Cellar Aged 2026
Woodford Reserve Offerings
Woodford Reserve’s official shop lists the Triple Pot Still Bottled in Bond release celebrating its 30th anniversary. Its separate Personal Selection page describes a 110-proof selection experience. Check the individual product or experience terms; neither listing should be treated as a promise of gift-shop stock on your visit date.

Planning Notes
Book timed tours ahead and confirm current hours and allocation rules directly with the distillery. Map the drive from your exact lake-area address; the Loretto, Lawrenceburg and Versailles stops should not all be assigned one travel-time estimate. Kentucky Bourbon Trail: visitor FAQs
Release announcements describe a launch, not continuing availability. If a particular bottle is the reason for your trip, contact the distillery before leaving.
