Actually I'm all for it ... no mag ban in Kentucky ... maybe we could get Texas to annex El Paso County (since Texas had an "El Paso" first).

At any rate the campaign is working because I'd never heard of Breckenridge Distillery before this but now I'll have to get a bottle and see how it stacks up against my Makers Mark.

[KevDen2005]

To be honest I am actually thinking of buying a bottle of this, so it worked.

Brilliant marketing. Its not too in your face and fun to consume.

Same here ... based on the prices I'm finding online it looks like a 750ml bottle will probably cost as much as a 1.75l bottle of Maker's from Costco ($45-50) ... so it is a bit more expensive but not as ridiculously over-priced as Stranahans ($80-100 for 750ml).

Nice, any local stores that sell it during your search?

[Zundfolge]

There's a store locator on the Breckenridge Distillery site

https://www.breckenridgedistillery.com/hooch/locator/

Looks like a TON of places in and around Aurora (same with Colorado Springs ... in fact it looks like the liquor store in the Costco at University Village that I usually shop at has it)

Nice, thanks for looking out

I've seen it at a few stores in Boulder. Haven't tried any yet.

The CO bourbons/whiskeys are hit and miss, for me.

Stranahan's Whiskey- Diesel fuel
303 Whiskey- Not so much
Fireside Whiskey- Good stuff

Some to try;
Colorado Straight Bourbon
Boathouse Distillery Bourbon
Colorado Gold Straight Bourbon Whiskey

I y'all find any Pappy Van Winkle, in your travels, let me know.

How can they call it a bourbon?

How can they call it a bourbon?
Bourbon can be made anyplace in the U.S., as long as it has 51% corn in the mash.

I always thought it had to come from Bourbon county, I guess not.

Since the days of prohibition Bourbon County Kentucky has been a dry county (and apparently still is).

There is zero legal Bourbon made in Bourbon. :p

[asmo]

The bourbon is okay.. I wouldnt put it in my top 10..

[Firehaus]

Breckenridge Vodka is good too. I like leopold bros whiskey the best of all the Colorado whiskey I've tried.

Bardstown, KY claims to be the bourbon capital of the world. It's in Nelson County.

leopold bros whiskey

I never see the "plain" on the shelf, only the fruit versions. Been wanting to try it.

They also have a project with Odell, used barrels for aging the beer. It is interesting...

Friend that is starting a distillery thinks Leopold Bros is the best from Colorado, if that means anything.
Leopold Bros original is good stuff, nice and dry. The fruit stuff tastes like straight up syrup though. After a bottle of regular, I tried the New York Apple. It was so sweet that if you cut it with water at 50%, it just tasted like apple juice.

Total Beverage has everything mentioned in this thread so far, and even has a Colorado Whiskey section. I don't know about the Pappy Van Winkle though.

It's interesting what the barrels are used for after aging bourbon. Porter, stout shiraz, grenache are being aged, for a short time, in used charred oak bourbon barrels.

I've been enjoying Jim Beam honey bourbon myself.
