Wyoming’s first legal distillery, Wyoming Whiskey, is proud to announce 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.
National Parks: Acadia Edition marks the first time Wyoming Whiskey’s celebrated series ventures beyond its home state. Created in partnership with Friends of Acadia, this special-edition bourbon supports the ongoing preservation of the park’s natural beauty, ecological health, and cultural heritage.
Since its inception, Wyoming Whiskey has united a passion for crafting premium bourbon with a deep-rooted commitment to protecting the vast, untamed landscapes that fuel its spirit. To mark the release of the Acadia Edition, the distillery is donating $10,000 to Friends of Acadia, supporting their mission to safeguard the park’s natural resources and enrich the visitor experience for generations to come.
Each bottle is a tribute to Wyoming’s rugged beauty, produced with care, patience, and purpose. From start to finish, Wyoming Whiskey stays grounded in its surroundings — raising the standard for American whiskey while honoring the land that shapes it.
Locally Grown Grains: The bourbon is made using non-GMO grains sourced just miles from the distillery in Byron, Wyoming.
Wyoming Whiskey co-founder David DeFazio shares, “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.”
