The Derby Reserve

A standing presence throughout Louisville as the world gathers for the fastest two minutes in sports.

Derby season in Louisville is defined less by spectacle than by continuity.
It unfolds across private gatherings, longstanding traditions, and evenings shaped by familiarity rather than announcement.

The Derby Reserve reflects Ember & Ash’s sustained presence during this period—maintained quietly, confirmed selectively, and held in limited seasonal allocation.

“Derby Day is festive and celebratory… sweet Mint Juleps made with Kentucky Bourbon and great cigars.”
— Cigar Aficionado

Participation in The Derby Reserve is not scheduled publicly.

Engagements are confirmed through prior relationship or private inquiry, often well in advance of the season itself.

Details regarding timing, location, and scope remain intentionally undisclosed.
