Forbes Magazine named Breckenridge Gin the Best Gin for Camping, “You’ll need a solid gin for the traditional version, and that’s where we turn to Breckenridge Distillery’s offering. You get all of the traditional botanicals, but mixed in with Rocky Mountain water.”
This fragrant American-style Gin stays true to the Breckenridge ideals of mouthfeel and flavor, through maceration and botanical basket distillation. A delicate harmony of 11 botanicals layer the Gin throughout the spirit; a full-body juniper lies at the forefront, bright citrus and complementary undertones of spice give a nod to the beauty that’s created when flowery aromas meet comforting spices.
