Colorado’s Breckenridge Distillery looks to expand its partnership with the NFL’s Denver Broncos, and as the official bourbon of the team, the whiskey maker has announced two new, limited Back-to-Back Broncos Bourbon Blends.
This is the third commemorative Broncos Bourbon Blends of the series collaboration.
A statement from Breckenridge notes this season’s bourbon collaboration pays homage to the back-to-back World Championship wins by the Broncos in 1997 and 1998.
And in addition to being the official bourbon of the Denver Broncos, Breckenridge is now the official vodka sponsor of the Broncos as well. They will offer Breckenridge Broncos Vodka to commemorate the Bronco Blizzard, the first white alternate Broncos football helmet.
For the Back-to-Back bourbon blends, Broncos alumni and former member of the World Championship team, Alfred Williams, and Breckenridge Distillery’s Head Distiller, Hans Stafsholt faced off with Broncos alumni Ed McCaffrey and Breckenridge Distillery founder and CEO, Bryan Nolt, to see which team was able to blend the better bourbon.
In the Blue Broncos Bourbon Blend, orange citrus and caramel aroma leads to a taste palate of honey and caramel and a creamy finish. The Orange Broncos Bourbon Blend has notes of butterscotch and stone fruit with a hint of cacao on the nose, leading to tastes of dark caramel with hints of leather, chocolate, and lingering spice.
Whiskey enthusiasts can cast their vote throughout the season on which Broncos Bourbon Blend they think is best, online at www.breckenridgedistillery.com.
The Breckenridge Back-to-Back Broncos Bourbon Blends has a suggested price of $39.99, and it will be available at Breckenridge Distillery’s two locations in Breckenridge, Colorado, and retail locations across Colorado.
