BRECKENRIDGE DISTILLERY ANNOUNCES RE-RELEASE OF AWARD-WINNING COGNAC CASK FINISH WHISKEY
Breckenridge Distillery, one of the most-awarded craft distilleries in the United States and a Tilray Brands Inc. spirits brand, has made its newest addition to the brand's line of cask finish whiskys, Breckenridge cognac cask finish. Initially launched as a limited edition in the second Collectors Art Series at the distillery's Breckenridge location in 2022, this whisky is now available in Colorado, with national expansion planned in the coming months.
Cognac is produced with well-known grapes from regions in France. A fine cognac is 15 per cent petite champagne and 85 per cent grande champagne, typically blended in batches of 300 barrels and aged anywhere from 10 to 37 years. Breckenridge Distillery imported its barrels and aged its Breckenridge bourbon whisky in cognac barrels for over two years. The cognac label features the iris, France's national flower, and grape blossoms, nodding to the grape's origin.
Breckenridge cognac cask finish whisky is 96 proof, with tasting notes of sweet red apple and a delicate balance of brandied fruit and caramel with an overripe apple sweetness and bourbon rye spice. The cask finish whisky will be bottled and retail for $59.99 SRP (suggested retail price).
"Our cognac cask finish is a testament to our dedication to innovation and quality," said Bryan Nolt, founder and chief executive officer at Breckenridge Distillery. "Cask finishes have become integral to our business and are among our most beloved and award-winning whiskies. We are proud to reintroduce this exceptional whisky to our collection, crafted with the same passion and precision that defines all our spirits."
The limited-edition Breckenridge cognac cask finish won gold at the World Whiskies Awards for Best American Blended Limited Release, double gold at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and 95 points at the 2023 New York International Spirits Competition. The Collectors Art Series campaign was named the 2020 Icon of Whisky for Campaign Innovator of the Year.
