Breckenridge Distillery Unveils Award-Winning Collectors Art Series Collaboration
Breckenridge Distillery, one of the most-awarded craft distilleries in the U.S., has partnered with California-based artist Abby Wren to create a limited release, Sauternes Cask Finish whiskey as part of its fourth annual Collectors Art Series. This collaboration brings together the art of blending color and blending whiskey, resulting in a unique and exclusive whiskey experience.

Abby Wren’s vibrant artwork adorns the label and a mural in the RiNo Art District in Denver, Colorado. Her design showcases her message of inclusivity, “Different is Dope!” which resonates deeply, especially after losing her hair to Alopecia, an autoimmune disease. Wren believes in the power of creativity as a healing source and has used bold, creative makeup to express her femininity. A donation of $5 per bottle will be made to SOS Outreach, a nonprofit organization that fosters a sense of belonging in young people through mentorship, outdoor adventure, and a progressive curriculum.
The Sauternes Cask Finish whiskey boasts aromas of white peach, apricot, and caramel, with notes of butterscotch and orange on the palate, finishing with hints of vanilla and white pepper. This 95-proof whiskey is a true masterpiece, showcasing the expertise of Breckenridge Distillery’s master blenders.
“Smell and taste are just as powerful as vision,” said Bryan Nolt, Founder and CEO of Breckenridge Distillery. “This collaboration is simply about evoking those emotions through graffiti and the artistry of whiskey.”
Breckenridge Distillery’s Collectors Art Series has garnered numerous awards, including the 2023 Best Blended LTD Release and 2020 Icons of Whisky for Campaign Innovator of the Year at the World Whiskies Awards, and a Gold at the 2020 and Double Gold at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competitions.
