Breckenridge Distillery Tour – Breckenridge, CO

Located in Breckenridge, Colorado, it is no surprise that the Breckenridge Distillery is known as the “World’s Highest Distillery”. Since its founding in 2008, the distillery has forged its name in their famous blended bourbon whiskey, Breckenridge Bourbon, which has won a multitude of awards and the hearts of whiskey lovers.

While hats, shirts, barware, and even “backcountry cocktail mix” for backpackers can be found on their online store, the truest experience of the distillery and their main products comes when you visit the source itself.
