The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 2008 by Bryan Nolt in Colorado, Breckenridge Distillery has risen to become one of the most decorated craft distilleries in the United States. Utilizing snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains, they focus on unique cask finishes and high-altitude aging to define their award-winning whiskey portfolio.

How it is made

Crafted at 9,600 feet, this high-altitude whiskey is aged in char-3 new American oak before finishing in sweet PX Sherry casks. The intense mountain temperature fluctuations allow the liquid to interact deeply with both wood profiles, creating a unique maturation dynamic.
