BRECKENRIDGE, Colo., June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Breckenridge Distillery, one of the most-awarded craft distilleries in the U.S., and a subsidiary of Tilray Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY and TSX: TLRY), is proud to celebrate two top honors at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, widely regarded as the largest and most prestigious spirits competition in the world.
Breckenridge Rum Cask Finish earned Double Gold, 97 points, the competition's highest distinction.

Having both Rum Cask Finish and Honey Whiskey recognized speaks to our unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and craftsmanship.”
Double Gold and Gold Medal Winners:
- Breckenridge Rum Cask Finish
Our award-winning Breckenridge Bourbon soaks up the charm of our own aged Colorado Rum casks, creating an unstoppable wave of flavor. Candied apple and cinnamon enfold, as dark chocolate and cacao follow. Lingering allspice captivates the senses, gratifying in just one sip, but mysterious enough to leave you wanting another (45% ABV, 90 proof,$59.99 M SRP). - Breckenridge Honey Whiskey
Infused with rare rainforest honey sourced from Nigeria’s Goldswarm hives, this whiskey delivers a rich, smooth, golden finish that’s both distinctive and deeply flavorful. The aroma opens with warm molasses and golden honey, layered with soft holiday spice, toasted oak, and a whisper of vanilla. On the palate, lush honey sweetness leads, balanced by mature oak and cozy spice, before finishing with a lingering warmth of smooth cinnamon
(36% ABV, 72 proof,$38.00 M SRP).
Breckenridge Rum Cask Finish and Breckenridge Honey Whiskey are available nationally at select retailers and for home delivery where permitted or find a retailer near you.
