Wyoming Whiskey recently announced the release of National Parks No. 3 and The Grand bourbon whiskeys, marking the third iteration of its National Parks collection. The Fall 2023 bourbon releases will pay tribute to Grand Teton National Park and support the park’s philanthropic partner, Grand Teton National Park Foundation (GTNPF) in their continued efforts to preserve natural and cultural resources, and enhance the national park experience for generations to come.
This year’s release features National Parks No.3, a straight Bourbon Whiskey which is aged for a minimum of five years and is “inspired by the winding Snake River in Grand Teton National Park.” Also included in the release is The Grand collection, which is made up of three unique single barrel rye bourbons, each aged ten years.
With the release of these two new bottles, Wyoming Whiskey will be making a donation of $150,000 to Grand Teton National Park Foundation.
For Wyoming Whiskey co-founders, Brad & Kate Mead and David DeFazio, Grand Teton National Park plays a pivotal role in their lives. The Meads historically used parts of Grand Teton National Park land for their annual cattle drive, a vital part of their ranching business based in Jackson, WY.
DeFazio is also an avid outdoorsman, and visits the park year-round for fishing, hiking, skiing and more.
“My attachment to Grand Teton National Park is deep and visceral, as I have enjoyed some of the finest days of my ranch life in the park,” said Mead who is also a founding member of the GTNPF board of directors, in a prepared statement. “Supporting the Foundation is a simple way to show our appreciation for all that the park has meant to our family, and to Wyoming Whiskey.”
“It is an honor for Wyoming Whiskey to be able to give back to the park and help to protect this beautiful land in our own backyard— a place so close to our hearts,” added DeFazio.
“Grand Teton National Park Foundation is grateful for Wyoming Whiskey’s incredible support,” said Leslie Mattson, President of the Grand Teton National Park Foundation. “Their vision and commitment to national park conservation will help continue our work to steward, protect, and enhance all that is special in Grand Teton.”
