Woodford Reserve announce the release of its annual holiday bottle, featuring artwork by UK-based architect Nick Hirst.

Hirst’s painting “Winter Slumber” depicts the contrast of wooden interior of the warehouse at Woodford Reserve with the stone exterior of the building, with the front door open to reveal barrels inside while snow falls outside.

The one-liter bottles are available in all U.S. and global markets the United States with a retail price of $49.99.

Specializing in historic buildings, Hirst has worked for 20 years in places across the world from North Africa to the Middle East and Russia, identifying and analyzing the unique qualities of buildings with drawings and sketches. His work previously exhibited at the Royal Academy and Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour in London.

In a news release, Hirst said “Winter Slumber” painting is based on a few preliminary pencil sketches from his visit to the distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, later laid onto a handmade watercolor paper with the detail added with gouache and pen-work.
