Based high in Rocky Mountains of Colorado at an altitude of 9600 feet, Breckenridge Distillery calls themselves “The World’s Highest Distillery.” And yes, we are pretty sure that the pun is intended. If you took a hard look at their impressive range of nine product offerings and more than two-dozen awards — including winning “Distillery of the Year”… twice — you might think that they have been around a long time. But Bryan Nolt founded the place in 2007. That makes their achievements even more impressive.
Breckenridge Gin is American-style. If you get three Gin-lovers in a room you will likely get three different opinions about what this means. To us it means a Gin that emphasizes bright citrus and floral notes over the traditional juniper and pepper notes of a classic London Dry Gin. Think of American Gin as leaning towards Negroni and Gin Fizz cocktails, while traditional Gin as more Dirty Martini. They are sister and brother. Make no mistake — Breckenridge Gin has the mix of traditional spices and piney juniper that you want, but with a fresher, clean finish and more floral aromas throughout the experience.

About the Flavor Spiral
What does Breckenridge Gin taste like?
Back to flavor spiral
The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Breckenridge Gin and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

Gin gets its dominant flavour from juniper berries. As with many other spirits, Gin was originally intended to be used as medicine. Yeah right!
Few Gin distillers make their own alcohol. Gin usually starts with neutral Spirit: A commodity that distillers buy in bulk. It’s what the distiller does with this commodity in the flavor-infusing process that makes each Gin different.
Hardcore Gin lovers say the word Martini should never be preceded by Vodka, lobster, or pomegranate. They say the original and the only real Martini consists of Gin, Vermouth & olives, period!
As producers try to develop new styles and flavors of Gin, to push the category and find a niche, the need for trying new methods of extracting flavors, as well as using more unusual botanicals, has grown.
One such way is the vacuum distillation method, when the redistillation of botanicals takes place in a vacuum.

While juniper-heavy Gin is perfect for your daily G&T, it is also complemented extremely well by tea flavours such as Earl Grey. Try steeping Earl Grey tea bags in Gin for an hour before mixing it with lemon juice and soda for a refreshing tipple. This one gets you additional kudos, so let’s keep it between us.

The New World is having a Ginaissance!
Mmm... The Art of Distillation. One of the greatest triumphs of the Old World. When this art met the unending cornfields of the New World, it resulted in countless failed moonshine experiments, pretty intricate popcorn machines and, of course, some terrific Bourbon. But Americans are, as far as other Spirits are concerned... still, pardon our French, rather unenlightened. And no, flavoured Vodka doesn't count!
