Breckenridge Distillery
Included In
Breckenridge Distillery doesn’t just make the official bourbon and vodka of the Denver Broncos—it’s also the world’s highest distillery at 9,600 feet, and sells bottles you can't find anywhere else. You could spend an entire day trying different kinds of gin, vodka, rum, and whiskey here, but they also have a tasting room downtown if you don’t have time to catch the free bus to the north side of town. If sipping on high-proof whiskeys from a tiny glencairn glass doesn’t sound like your idea of a good time, they also have a cocktail list with plenty of boozy (and tasty) nods to pop culture icons. Make sure to try the Obi-Wan Old Fashioned with port cask whiskey, barrel-aged bitters, brandied cherry, and raw simple syrup.
