"Breckenridge Distillery doesn’t just make the official bourbon and vodka of the Denver Broncos—it’s also the world’s highest distillery at 9,600 feet, and sells bottles you can't find anywhere else. You could spend an entire day trying different kinds of gin, vodka, rum, and whiskey here, but they also have a tasting room downtown if you don’t have time to catch the free bus to the north side of town. If sipping on high-proof whiskeys from a tiny glencairn glass doesn’t sound like your idea of a good time, they also have a cocktail list with plenty of boozy (and tasty) nods to pop culture icons. Make sure to try the Obi-Wan Old Fashioned with port cask whiskey, barrel-aged bitters, brandied cherry, and raw simple syrup." - anne cruz

"A high-altitude craft distillery founded in 2008 just outside Denver in the Rocky Mountains, producing award-winning blended bourbon, rum, gin, vodka, and liqueurs using mineral-rich snowmelt from the Continental Divide. The founder—inspired by Scotch—chose the roughly 9,600-foot location for its pure, high-mineral, low-iron water, which the team says lends a distinctive “syrupy sweetness with a little graham cracker” and a unique mouthfeel even in very high-proof expressions. Visitors can enjoy a relaxed downtown tasting room and restaurant-bar with tours, interactive tastings, a Cocktail Lab, blending classes, live music, reclaimed-wood interiors, and a sunny patio; signature cocktails include the Bronco Billie (made with the house bourbon blend plus nutmeg shell and peach tea) and inventive takes on the Old Fashioned. Recognized as Colorado’s leading craft distillery and a top visitor attraction, the venue markets itself as a lively après destination for outdoor adventurers in ski boots, bike gear, or hiking clothes." - AFAR
