Establishment of Woodford Reserve Distillery

Background. The event title and legacy row assert an 1780 establishment of the Woodford Reserve Bourbon whiskey distillery along Glenn's Creek in Woodford County, Kentucky. No supplied passage supports an 1780 date or a Glenn's Creek location. The passages instead identify the site as that of the present-day Woodford Reserve Distillery, formerly the Old Oscar Pepper Distillery and later the Labrot & Graham Distillery, located roughly eight miles from Versailles in north-central Kentucky.

Sourced Establishment of Distilling on the Site. The sole establishment-related claim in the supplied material is that distilling began on the site of the current-day distillery in 1812. This falls within the event's 1775–1812 episode window and is the earliest sourced development. The passages do not name any founder, so no Person reconciliation is possible from the evidence.

Excluded Later and Modern Material. The remaining passages concern the modern Woodford Reserve brand produced by Brown-Forman, the 2004 renaming, National Historic Landmark designation, product lines, and 21st-century personnel and controversies. These fall outside the declared scope, which forbids the distillery's later history, branding, and modern site history, and are therefore omitted.
