Wyoming Whiskey has announced the launch of National Parks: Acadia Edition. The first national park was created from lands gifted to the public by conservation-minded citizens. Acadia represents the importance in public ownership and the preservation of land. Wyoming Whiskey National Parks: Acadia Edition is the first time that the celebrated series has expanded outside of the distillery’s home state. This special-edition bourbon was created in partnership with Friends of Acadia and supports their continued stewardship of the natural beauty, ecological vitality, and rich cultural resources of the park.

From day one, Wyoming Whiskey has paired its dedication to crafting quality whiskey with a commitment to preserving the wide-open landscapes that inspire it. Coinciding with this release, Wyoming Whiskey is donating $10,000 to Friends of Acadia to support its continued efforts to preserve Acadia’s natural resources and to enhance the national park experience for generations to come.

The release utilizes locally sourced ingredients, water drawn from a limestone aquifer close to the distillery, American oak barrels, and Wyoming’s climate to help accelerate the maturation process. Wyoming Whiskey says this release has notes of baked honey crullers with cinnamon sugar on the nose, followed by almond liqueur and a hint of vanilla whip on the palate.

Wyoming Whiskey co-founder David DeFazio commented: “Our support of the national parks of Wyoming has always been a source of pride for everyone at Wyoming Whiskey. It’s part of who we are. And we felt it was time to broaden our horizons — both geographically and philanthropically. That’s why we’ve chosen to feature Acadia as the newest addition to our National Parks Series of bourbons. Over the years, we’ve developed a strong relationship with many like-minded folks in Maine who share our values, and, personally, this one means a lot to me. I’ve visited Acadia many times, with my family as a kid and most recently just last year. It feels right to honor the park, and the people who protect it, with this special bourbon.”

National Parks: Acadia Edition (SRP $79.99) is bottled at 98 proof and is available exclusively in brick-and-mortar retailers in Maine. For more information on this and future releases, visit Wyoming Whiskey’s website.
