As the Official Bourbon and Vodka of the Denver Broncos, Breckenridge Distillery teamed up with Broncos legends Ed McCaffrey and Hall of Famer Randy Gradishar for a battle of the blends.
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo., August 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Breckenridge Distillery, one of the most-awarded craft distilleries in the U.S., a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), and the official Bourbon and Vodka of the Denver Broncos, announces its newest Broncos Bourbon Blends, the Broncos Country Blends, along with the new Breckenridge Broncos Vodka. The bourbons pay homage to the Broncos’ new 2024 Mile High Collection which is a tribute to the unique aspects of Colorado’s landscape and the heart of the Broncos fandom. Fans aged 21 or older can purchase the limited-edition bourbons in Colorado retailers starting next week.
To make the Mile High blends, Broncos alumnus and 2024 Hall of Famer, Randy Gradishar, and Breckenridge Distillery’s Head Distiller, Hans Stafsholt (Team Blue), faced off with Broncos alumnus and 2023 Broncos Blend People’s Choice winner, Ed McCaffrey, and Breckenridge Distillery founder and CEO, Bryan Nolt (Team Orange), to produce two remarkable blends that capture the essence of Broncos Country.
The Broncos Blue Blend has a light caramel and matured oak that fill the nose with a hint of orange zest and vanilla, leading to a palate of caramel and oak with a soft finish of white pepper; the Broncos Orange Blend has toasted almond and orange biscotti on the nose, leading to a palate of light toasted nuts and dry oak with a creamy finish. Each bottle will be 87 proof, 43.5% ABV, to represent Ed McCaffrey’s jersey number.
“Over the past three years, we have had the opportunity to work with an outstanding franchise. As we move into our fourth year of the partnership, we continue to express the significant value of our collaboration with the Denver Broncos,” said Bryan Nolt, Founder and CEO of Breckenridge Distillery. “It is a privilege to share our passion for high-quality whiskey with both the passionate Broncos fan base and the broader Colorado community. When the Broncos take the field this season, we hope you can celebrate with these commemorative Broncos Bourbon Blends.”
Breckenridge Distillery’s Broncos Bourbon Blends limited-release whiskies have garnered multiple awards over the years, including Best American Blended, Limited Edition and Icons of Whisky Campaign Innovator of the Year, Highly Commended, at the 2022 World Whiskies Awards.
