About Breckenridge Reserve Blend Whiskey
The Breckenridge Reserve Blend is a skilfully honed masterpiece, stemming from their reserve blend program that showcases the individual nuances of their bourbons, satisfying even the most demanding of connoisseurs. This distillery is all about the details, from the Rocky Mountain water source to their custom high-rye mash bill, which is aged in handpicked barrels from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana. With each release of their reserve blend, they strive to create a taste that's as distinctive as it is delectable, highlighting the classic flavors of bourbon in a way that's uniquely their own. The journey into this exquisite spirit starts with notes of sweet brown sugar and molasses balanced perfectly against the bright zest of dried orange peel, finished with a subtle hint of vanilla and a punch of rye spice and cardamom.

About Breckenridge
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in an open-top Scottish fermenter before distilling it twice through a $140,000, 550-gallon, Vendome copper-pot still originally made in Kentucky.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.
After distillation, their bourbon is aged at 120 proof in American white oak casks with a number 3 char for approximately three years and is then brought to proof using pure Rocky Mountain snowmelt from atop Mount Quandry, which has a 14,000-foot peak. "In Breckenridge, we have fresh snowmelt water that’s full of minerals and has its own flavor,” says Bryan Nolt, Breckenridge Distillery’s founder and CEO. "The pH is perfect and the minerals add taste to our spirits just as salt adds flavor to foods," he says.
About American Whiskey
There are two main representatives of the American whiskey family, bourbon, and rye, but some other spirits don't fall into those two strictly regulated categories.
There's equally strictly regulated American single malt, made from 100% malted barley, Tennessee whiskey, essentially bourbon filtered through maple charcoal and aged in new charred oak barrels.
And then there's moonshine, a high proof (150- 170 proof) distilled spirit mainly made out of corn which gained popularity during the prohibition.
