Perfect for classic cocktails.

Imperial Stout Cask testing notes

Cinnamon and Oak envelop the nose with a light background of fresh orange zest and chocolate. Smooth abundant caramel and dark chocolate hit the palate first as a dry matured oak and bold cinnamon spice follow and ride out for a long dry, spicy finish.

Breckenridge Chili Chile Vodka meets Turkish Chili and Colorado-grown Pueblo Chile. A perfect balance of smoke and lingering chipotle spice. Excellent in a bloody mary.

Full-bodied, roasted to perfection, local decaf espresso is cold infused with our vodka and natural flavors. Earthy, roasted espresso melds with pure maple syrup to create a pronounced vanilla finish that’s not excessively sweet. Reminiscent of a chocolate and maple-drizzled waffle and a warm cup of coffee.

Award-winning, high-rye Bourbon Whiskey aged for a minimum of three years, in charred, new American oak barrels, and blended to reveal the unique qualities of the Bourbon Whiskey.

Tasting Notes

Deep, honey-amber hue with pronounced aromas of butterscotch, candied orange and apple; dry cacao and brown sugar envelop the tongue as the spirit lingers with notes of vanilla and white pepper.

From the Andalusia province of Spain, a luscious dessert wine is produced from the shriveled raisins of the Pedro Ximenez (PX) grape. This highly viscous, syrupy, wine is aged in ancient solera barrels for decades before release. We acquired a selection of retired PX barrels from a solera hundreds of years old and filled them with our rich and spicy Bourbon Whiskey. Left to bask in these ripe, fruity vessels, our Whiskey emerged with complex layers of fig compote, orange marmalade, and licorice to complement the sweet oak and vanilla character of our world-renowned Bourbon Whiskey.

Our award-winning Bourbon Whiskey is infused by hand, with a careful selection of whole roots and winter spices. Rich, bold aromas of cinnamon and allspice meld with flavors of caramel and vanilla. Enjoy fireside on a cold winter's day.

Our Colorado Rum is made with turbinado sugars and dark molasses, mashed and distilled in house. Aged in award-winning Breckenridge Bourbon casks, then finished with carefully selected roots, spices, and dried fruits. Holiday cloves mingle, while cinnamon-dipped green apples hypnotize in the background. The tasting adventure follows through to a robust dark chocolate, finally finishing with a lingering vanilla and molasses.

This fragrant American-style Gin stays true to the Breckenridge ideals of mouthfeel and flavor, through maceration and botanical basket distillation. A delicate harmony of 11 botanicals layer the Gin throughout the spirit; a full-body juniper lies at the forefront, bright citrus and complementary undertones of spice give a nod to the beauty that's created when flowery aromas meet comforting spices.

Notes of lemon cream and fragrant meadow flowers create our clean and brilliantly clear Vodka. A refreshingly light body is complimented by its soft, warm texture and balanced mellow finish, displaying just a hint of sweetness. Minerality of the Breckenridge water, used for blending and proofing, lends to the perfect mouthfeel.

Situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Breckenridge Distillery makes one of the best bourbons in the world. The distillery, which is only 4,000 square feet itself, is situated 9,600 feet above sea level, making it the highest distillery in the world. There, Jordan Via Breckenridge's master distiller ferments a mash of 56% corn, 38% rye and 6% malted barley in an open-top Scottish fermenter before distilling it twice through a $140,000, 550-gallon, Vendome copper-pot still originally made in Kentucky. With a profound range of expressions ranging from award winning bourbons and Port cask finished whiskeys to Chili flavored vodkas, and over two dozen awards, including 2 Distillery of the Year awards, Breckenridge is without saying a well-established player in the game. This is very impressive considering Bryan Nolt founded Breckenridge in 2007. Breckenridge Reserve Blend is a release from the reserve blend program, created to showcase qualities of their bourbons that even the most discerning connoisseurs can appreciate. The spirit consists of four distinct blends, giving great insight into the beauty of the bourbon while it ages, and the affects of charring that are subsequently expressed. Still soft and luscious, these blends capture a different take on the way bourbon can grow up and present itself at maturity.

Born in the heart of the Rockies, our Colorado grain-to-bottle Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is the pride and joy of our distillery. Aged up to ten years under tight temperature and humidity controls, these barrels exemplify characteristics unlike any other. Hand selected by our distillers to encapsulate the unique flavors of Breckenridge: notes of butterscotch, candied orange, sultana raisin, bittersweet cacao.

Our award-winning Bourbon Whiskey gets some final grooming in 59 gallon Tawny Port casks, adding aroma and flavor of sultana raisin and maple syrup, which round out and soften the naturally spicy finish. Thanks to the superior Tawny Port casks, each batch flaunts a unique expression.

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.

A pioneering American Single Malt Whiskey, utilizing dark specialty malts and introducing them into standard malt mash. At the sacrifice of high yields, intentionally overpowering flavors such as over-ripe green apple, cacao, and chocolate dazzle the palate. We pushed the malt to the boundaries, purposefully off-balancing the undertones of bitter orange peel, angular oak, caramel, and green coffee cherries. Delightfully finishing with subtle essences of seaweed and sea salt. Up to ten years in a combination of new American oak and used bourbon casks has developed a singular and satisfying whiskey experience.

“Philosophically for me, quality is the only thing that matters,” says Nolt. “If you want to have quality in whiskey, there’s so much heritage that you just can’t ignore.”

Our award-winning Breckenridge Bourbon marinated in Madeira casks; rich in flavor, without an overpowering sweetness. Maraschino cherry with notes of plum tease the palette, flavors of smoked cherrywood and leather are quickly to follow. Finishing with a hint of Baker’s chocolate, this will quickly become a go-to delight.
