Breckenridge Distillery, the ‘World’s Highest Distillery, ’ one of the most awarded craft distilleries in the U.S., and the official bourbon of the Denver Broncos, announced two new limited-edition Back-to-Back Broncos Bourbon Blends, the third commemorative Broncos Bourbon Blends of the series collaboration. This season’s bourbon collaboration pays homage to the back-to-back World Championships wins by the Broncos in 1997 and 1998. Fans aged 21 or older in Colorado can purchase the limited-edition bourbon starting today, August 10, 2023.
To make the Back-to-Back blends, Broncos alumni and former member of the World Championship team Alfred Williams and Breckenridge Distillery’s Head Distiller, Hans Stafsholt (Team Blue), faced off with Broncos alumni Ed McCaffrey and Breckenridge Distillery founder and CEO, Bryan Nolt (Team Orange), to see which team was able to blend the better bourbon.
In the Blue Broncos Bourbon Blend, bright orange citrus and smooth caramel aroma lead to a taste palate of honey and caramel and a smooth, creamy finish. The Orange Broncos Bourbon Blend leverages butterscotch and stone fruit with a hint of cacao on the nose, leading to a taste palate of dark caramel with hints of leather, chocolate, and lingering spice. Fans can cast their vote throughout the season on which Broncos Bourbon Blend.
The Breckenridge Back-to-Back Broncos Bourbon Blends retail for $39.99 each, and the Breckenridge Broncos Vodka retails for $22.99. Both will be available at Breckenridge Distillery’s two locations in Breckenridge, Colorado and retail locations across Colorado.
For the upcoming 2023-2024 football season, the Denver Broncos will also unveil the new Breckenridge Bourbon Club premium experience at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. The club offers members exclusive access to the ground-level experience with all-inclusive food and beverage, complimentary parking and lower 100-level seating.
“Our valuable partnership with the Denver Broncos has grown significantly over the years,” said Nolt. “We’re excited to continue our partnership with these Back-to-Back Bourbon Blends and to open the Breckenridge Bourbon Club at Empower Field for fans to experience.”
The first collaboration of the Broncos Bourbon Blend series, the Champions Blend, garnered recognition by winning Best American Blended Whiskey Limited Release and Campaign Innovator of the Year by Whisky Magazine at the World Whiskies Awards.
