Breckenridge Vodka
Breckenridge Vodka is a 40% ABV (80 proof) vodka distilled from 100% Midwest sweet corn at 9,600 feet above sea level — one of the first two spirits Breckenridge Distillery ever released, back in 2011. Proofed with Rocky Mountain snowmelt water, it's clean and brilliantly clear with notes of lemon cream and fragrant meadow flowers: a refreshingly light body, soft warm texture, and a balanced, mellow finish with just a hint of sweetness. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Vodka That Started It All
Before the bourbons and the awards, there was the vodka: Breckenridge released its vodka and bourbon together in 2011, and the vodka's clean, mineral-driven profile became the base for the distillery's whole flavored-vodka line. At altitude, distillation behaves differently — lower boiling points, thinner air — and the house credits its snowmelt water for the vodka's mouthfeel: soft, warm, and just sweet enough.
