Breckenridge

Breckenridge Bourbon is a craft bourbon whiskey produced by the Breckenridge Distillery located in Breckenridge, Colorado. Founded in 2008 by Bryan Nolt, a physician and bourbon enthusiast, the distillery has quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality spirits in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.

One of the distinctive features of Breckenridge Bourbon is its use of mineral-rich snowmelt water from the Rocky Mountains for distillation. This water source is considered to be a key contributor to the smooth and unique flavor profile of their bourbon. The brand prides itself on its high-rye mash bill, which typically includes a blend of yellow corn, green rye, and unmalted barley, resulting in a well-balanced bourbon with a bold, spicy character complemented by subtle notes of caramel and vanilla.

Breckenridge Distillery's approach to bourbon-making includes a focus on small-batch production and hands-on craftsmanship. Their bourbons are aged in charred American oak barrels, which impart additional depth and complexity to the whiskey. The distillery has also experimented with different cask finishes, releasing limited-edition bourbons that offer innovative and unique flavor experiences. Breckenridge Bourbon has received numerous awards and accolades, solidifying its status as a standout among craft bourbon producers in the United States.
