At Breckenridge Distillery, we believe every bottle tells a story. Our latest release—the 2025 limited-edition Broncos Honey Whiskey—is a tribute to legacy, craft, and connection. Made with wild Nigerian honey from Goldswarm and our award-winning bourbon whiskey, this collaboration transcends a simple pour—it’s a celebration of heritage that bridges two worlds.
The Golden Thread: Goldswarm’s Mission
Founded by Omar Lababidi, Goldswarm is a premium honey company that sources wild, sustainably harvested honey from Nigeria’s rainforests. Their mission extends far beyond flavor, supporting rural beekeeping communities while bringing rich, unfiltered honey to global markets. This golden ingredient now meets Breckenridge’s bold bourbon in a blend as meaningful as it is delicious.
A Broncos Legacy Lives On
The connection runs deeper than business. Omar Lababidi is the grandson of Richard S. Kitchen—one of the founding figures behind the Denver Broncos, Secretary of the Board of the Denver Broncos. Three generations later, that same pioneering spirit lives on in this collaboration. As Omar reflects, “To be connected to the Denver Broncos in this way—through craft, heritage, and family—is incredibly meaningful to me.”
Bridging Two Worlds
Omar’s story is one of family, passion, and purpose spanning continents. When his mother left Colorado to make a home in West Africa, she joined his father’s family who had invested deeply in the continent for generations. Together, they helped build industries that shaped economies and created lasting opportunities across the region.
Despite the distance and time zones, Omar’s connection to Colorado—and specifically to the Broncos—never faded. He’s become the Broncos’ most dedicated fan in West Africa, staying up through countless late nights during football season to catch every game. That orange and blue loyalty runs as deep as his family roots.
Now, with Goldswarm, Omar charts his own path while honoring both sides of his heritage. He’s building a business that sustains local farmers, protects threatened bee populations, and shares the extraordinary flavors of West African honey with the world. Harvested from endangered forests across the region, Goldswarm honey supports local beekeepers who serve as guardians of both biodiversity and ancient traditions.
Through innovative technology systems and the future promise of Honey Coin financing, Omar strengthens farming communities while completing a circle generations in the making. For millennia, honey has been treasured across West Africa as food, medicine, and healing—used to soothe, restore, and connect people to the land.
Taste of Legacy
From the moment the cork is pulled, the 2025 Broncos Honey Whiskey begins to tell its story. The aroma greets you first—warm vanilla and toasted oak rising from the glass, followed by whispers of wild Nigerian honey. It’s floral, earthy, and unmistakably rich—a scent that hints at the rainforests where Goldswarm sources its golden nectar.
On the palate, the whiskey is velvety and bold. Caramel and dried apricot unfold slowly, layered with gentle spice that nods to Breckenridge’s signature bourbon profile. But it’s the honey that steals the show—adding smooth, grounding sweetness that lingers and deepens with every sip.
The finish leaves a warm trail of cinnamon, citrus peel, and golden honey—a lasting impression of craft, heritage, and connection.
One Team. One Pour.
This isn’t just a whiskey you drink—it’s one you experience. A blend of generations, a tribute to the Broncos, and a celebration of the wild beauty that Goldswarm brings to the table. Goldswarm carries tradition forward, linking heritage to modern craft, and for this football season, bringing that story home to Broncos fans.
It’s sweetness with purpose—heritage, healing, and the unbreakable bond between a grandson and his grandfather’s legacy, bottled.
