Managing Director Andrew Wason expressed the distillery’s excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to unveil this special-release whiskey with Purdue for Life and to support the organization’s ongoing efforts to engage alumni and strengthen the community.” The limited-edition bourbon showcases Wyoming’s rugged spirit and Purdue’s innovative legacy, aged for seven years—symbolizing the seven degrees offered at Purdue’s White Lodging – J.W.

The bourbon offers a rich tasting experience, with aromas of spiced honey, mint, citrus zest, and baking spices. The palate reveals layers of vanilla custard, caramel, dark chocolate, and spearmint, leading to a smooth, lingering finish with hints of pipe smoke and spice.

Founded in 2019, Brush Creek Distillery focuses on small-batch spirits, including bourbon, rye, gin, and vodka. The distillery’s commitment to craftsmanship is evident through this release, blending Wyoming's natural elements with Purdue’s spirit of innovation.

The Purdue for Life Foundation, established in 2020, helps alumni stay connected, supports lifelong learning, and encourages engagement with the university. The bourbon serves as a tribute to Purdue’s past while also supporting ongoing alumni initiatives.
