Woodford Reserve’s “The Wonderful Race” Returns

As part of its Old Fashioned month celebration this October, Woodford Reserve’s “The Wonderful Race” is back - now in its 3rd edition. 
 
Malaysia’s bartenders are challenged to craft the ultimate “All-Star Old Fashioned” — one that not only tastes great but redefines what this timeless cocktail can be.

Participants will be judged on:

  • Concept & Story (40%) – What’s the inspiration and emotion behind the drink?
  • Creativity (30%) – What gives it that All-Star edge?
  • Presentation (20%) – The look and feel of the final serve.
  • Advocacy (10%) – How they share the Woodford Reserve spirit during Old Fashioned Month.

The top 10 will compete for the national title — and the champion wins a trip to the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Kentucky.

🗓️ Submissions open 1–31 October 2025
