Celebrating Art and Whiskey: Breckenridge's Unique Collaboration
Breckenridge Distillery Partners with Renowned Artist Miles Toland
Breckenridge Distillery, a celebrated name in the world of craft spirits, has launched an extraordinary collaboration featuring the illustrious artist, Miles Toland. Known for its rich heritage and commitment to quality, the distillery proudly celebrates its fifth installment of the prestigious Collectors Art Series. This edition showcases Toland’s enchanting art on the label of their latest offering, the Breckenridge Calvados Cask Finish, marking a significant milestone in the realm of artisanal spirits.
Meet the Artist: Miles Toland
Hailing from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and currently residing in Spokane, Washington, Miles Toland’s artistic journey is defined by his vivid murals and captivating studio work. His creative expression delves into themes bridging the conscious and subconscious, reflecting a unique spiritual connection. For this limited release, Toland's design captures a breathtaking moment of nature, merging human experience with the stunning backdrop of Colorado's Rocky Mountains and lark buntings, intertwined in a harmonious mandala.
Toland's Perspective on Art and Whiskey
“Blending is everything in my paintings,” says Toland. He eloquently draws parallels between the artistry of painting and whiskey-making. Just as whiskey is a blend of various elements, his art seeks to create connections between contrasting themes, such as light and shadow. Featuring his work on a whiskey label is a remarkable fusion of two artistic mediums that celebrate complexity and craftsmanship.
The Breckenridge Calvados Cask Finish
This tantalizing bottle presents a unique tasting experience at 95 proof / 47.5% ABV. Distinctive aromas greet the senses: freshly peeled red apples mingle with warm oak, creamy vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon spice. On the palate, one can expect a delightful interplay of caramel, baked apples, and layered sweet oak, complemented by a gentle touch of peppery spice. The finish leaves a lingering warmth of cinnamon, making this whiskey a remarkable choice for enthusiasts.
Supporting the Local Community
In alignment with its philanthropic ethos, Breckenridge Distillery has pledged to donate $5 for every bottle sold, benefitting Keep RiNo Wild (KRW). This organization is dedicated to nurturing affordable creative spaces and supporting the local artist community. KRW also offers enriching educational programming and events for diverse audiences, enhancing the cultural richness of the area.
A Testament to Blending
“Miles’ work dives into the mystical and unseen, echoing the sensory journey our whiskeys provide,” states Bryan Nolt, the founder of Breckenridge Distillery. This partnership serves as another testament to their ongoing celebration of blending—an ethos that encompasses color, spirit, and culture.
A Legacy of Awards
Breckenridge Distillery's dedication to quality has not gone unnoticed, earning numerous accolades throughout the years.
