Breckenridge Spiced Rum
Breckenridge Spiced Rum is a 45% ABV (90 proof) spiced rum distilled at 9,600 feet in Colorado — a full 10 points hotter than the typical mass-market spiced rum. Made from turbinado sugars and dark molasses, mashed and distilled in house, it's aged in the distillery's own award-winning Breckenridge Bourbon casks, then finished with carefully selected roots, spices, and dried fruits. Holiday cloves mingle while cinnamon-dipped green apples hypnotize in the background, resolving into robust dark chocolate and a lingering vanilla-and-molasses finish. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Spiced Rum, Craft-Distillery Style
Most spiced rums are built to a price; this one is built to a place. Distilling the rum in house at the world's highest distillery, resting it in the distillery's own bourbon barrels, and bottling at 90 proof gives the spice something real to work with — the clove, cinnamon, and green apple read as ingredients, not flavoring. It's a cold-weather rum: hot buttered rum, spiced cider, Dark 'n' Stormy riffs. Browse rum or see the full Breckenridge lineup.
