Woodford Reserve is creating a sensorial experience at Istanbul International Airport to bring the flavors of its American Whiskey to traveling consumers.

The pop-up lounge will run until December 31st and is staffed 24 hours daily.

Woodford Reserve has partnered with Usla Akademi, one of the leading culinary academies in Turkey. They have crafted a special bonbon to give travelers the tasting experience of Woodford Reserve Bourbon.

“We are thrilled to join forces with our partners Usla Akademi and Heinemann and Unifree Duty-Free to introduce the Woodford Reserve Sensory Lounge at Istanbul International Airport. This collaborative effort sets a new standard for unforgettable airport experiences.”, said Stéphane Morizet, Marketing Director Brown-Forman Global Travel Retail.

Woodford Reserve bottles, including Bourbon, Malt, Double Oaked, Batch Proof series, and Baccarat Edition, will be available.  The Istanbul Airport Personal Selection edition of Distiller’s Select, which can only be purchased in Istanbul Airport, is also available. After purchasing two bottles, consumers will receive a branded Istanbul tote bag.
