152 Hand-Crafted Cups Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary, Benefitting Closely CraftedVERSAILLES, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Woodford Reserve is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States through one of its most cherished Kentucky Derby traditions, the $5,000 Mint Julep Charity Cup program.
This year's luxury julep cup honors the nation's founding and benefits a charity devoted to American craftsmanship. A total of 152 julep cups are available, commemorating the 152nd Run for the Roses.
Every cup is hand-crafted by Graham Newton of From The Vault and features a sculpted thoroughbred horse surrounded by thirteen stars paying tribute to the original thirteen colonies.
“This year's julep charity program marries two historic events – the birth of the United States and the most iconic American race, run every year at Churchill Downs since 1875,” Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall said.
The collection includes 76 polished pewter cups ($2,000) and 76 gold-plated cups ($5,000).
