Breckenridge Distillery first started distilling in 2007 as the brainchild of CEO Bryan Nolt and Master Distiller Jordan Via, It opened its doors three years later with Breckenridge Vodka and Breckenridge Bourbon — and has been winning awards ever since.

"It's now the No. 1 ultra-premium whiskey in Colorado,"  Chief Operating Officer Matt Shifrin says.
