Breckenridge Distillery (TLRY) and the Denver Broncos are releasing two new limited-edition Mile High Bourbon Blends.
The limited-edition bottles will be on shelves as of Monday, August 8.
To make the Mile High Blends, Broncos Alumni Jake Plummer and Breckenridge, Head Distiller Hans Stafsholt (Blue), faced off with Broncos ‘Ring of Famer’, Karl Mecklenburg and Breckenridge Distillery, Founder Bryan Nolt (Orange), to see who can blend the better bourbon.
In the Blue Broncos Bourbon Blend, honey crisp apple and fresh orange envelop the nose leading to a creamy orange and orange blossom honey on the palate, finished with oak and light white pepper spice.
The Orange Broncos Bourbon Blend invites a burnt orange marmalade and brandied raisin aroma leading to dark brown sugar with light cherrywood smoke, vanilla, rye spice and a light black pepper finish.
These limited-edition bourbon blends pay homage to the Broncos Mile High Era and include the team’s classic 1962 logo on their label.
“Last year, we released our first collaboration with the Denver Broncos, and the Broncos Bourbon blends were not only a hit with our Colorado fans but the whiskey industry as a whole,” says Nolt.
The first collaboration of the series, the Champions Blend, garnered recognition in the whiskey world by being named Best American Blended Whiskey, Limited Release and Campaign Innovator of the Year by Whisky Magazine at the World Whiskies Awards.
Founded in 2008, Breckenridge Distillery is the “World’s Highest Distillery” widely known for its award-winning blended bourbon whiskey, a high-rye mash American-style whiskey.
Breckenridge Distillery (TLRY) is up 1.40 per cent, trading at C$5.06 at 1:45 pm EST.
