BRECKENRIDGE, Colo., Aug. 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.
