Wyoming Whiskey announced the launch of National Parks: Acadia Edition. The first national park created from lands gifted to the public by conservation-minded citizens, Acadia stands as a testament to preservation of land for the common good.

Wyoming Whiskey National Parks: Acadia Edition represents the first time that the celebrated series expands 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 whiskey with a commitment to preserving the wide-open landscapes that inspire it. Coinciding with this release, Wyoming Whiskey will donate $10,000 to Friends of Acadia to support the organization’s continued efforts to preserve Acadia’s natural resources and to enhance the national park experience for generations to come.

Wyoming Whiskey uses non-GMO grains grown just miles away in Byron, Wyoming. Meanwhile, the whiskey is made with water drawn from a limestone aquifer located 50 miles from the distillery. Each batch is aged a minimum of five years in newly charred American oak barrels to ensure deep flavor and character.

Climate-Driven 

The wild temperature swings of Wyoming’s climate naturally accelerate maturation, creating a uniquely complex spirit.

“Our support of the national parks of Wyoming has always been a source of pride for everyone at Wyoming Whiskey,” Wyoming Whiskey co-founder David DeFazio shares. “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 is available exclusively in brick-and-mortar retailers in Maine. It has an ABV of 49% and is 98 proof. SRP $79.99. Be on the lookout for the next release in Wyoming Whiskey’s annual National Parks Series, expected this fall.
