Breckenridge Distillery’s Dad’s Stash is an 86-proof bourbon with notes on the nose of butterscotch and rye, palate layers of caramel and stone fruits including apricot, lychee, and a perfectly balanced finish of mature oak and spice. Series Two of this blend releases June 10th exclusively at Breckenridge Distillery Tasting Rooms, and makes a perfect gift for bourbon-loving dads looking to spice up their home bar carts, or an Old-Fashioned cocktail enjoyed on Father’s Day.
Dad’s Stash: a term that celebrates both the sacred Whiskey reserve kept under lock and key in the man cave and the proud mustache. These symbols of fatherhood are so intertwined that even the most cringe-worthy dad joke can’t match their bond. So, we found something that can — Breckenridge Distillery’s Dad’s Stash Whiskey, a noteworthy Spirit created to honor both of them. Last year, the Breckenridge team went head-to-head with Flaviar’s fathers in the ultimate battle-of-the-blends, blind-tasting, and refining until they achieved the perfect balance of flavors: caramel, butterscotch, stone fruits, lychee fruit, and baker’s chocolate. This Father’s Day (or any dad-related occasion), skip the socks and go straight for this limited-edition masterpiece. You know, something he will actually enjoy.
The Story: To create the 2023 blend, Breckenridge Distillery invited 20 Flaviar members to Breckenridge, Colorado, for a battle of the blends. The exclusive event split dads into two teams, which were led by Bryan Nolt, founder and CEO of Breckenridge Distillery, and Hans Stafsholt, head distiller at Breckenridge Distillery, to see who could blend the better bourbon. The result was the blend created from team Nolt and 10 Flaviar member dads.
“As a dad I’ll tell you that fatherhood works best if Pops gets a small reward every now and then. We decided to partner with Flaviar on crafting a special blend that would make dad say, ‘damn, they must truly appreciate me,” said Bryan Nolt, Founder and CEO of Breckenridge Distillery. “There’s a lot of love in this blend. It’s an honor to work with the team to put something special together that will stop a true whiskey lover in their tracks.”
“Breckenridge Distillery is one of our highest rated bourbons, and Flaviar is all about bringing people together through fine spirits.” says Flaviar co-founder Grisa Soba. “That’s why we’re really excited about Dad’s Stash. It’s such an amazing, unique bourbon for Father’s Day, created in collaboration with real Flaviar members (most of whom are dads themselves!). We couldn’t be happier about working with Breckenridge to raise a glass to all the dads out there who have taught us the value of hard work and the joy of a good drink.”
