Breckenridge Distillery has launched Peach Whiskey, a flavored whiskey made with Palisade peaches from Colorado’s Grand Valley. It is the distillery’s second flavored release after Honey Whiskey, bottled at 36% ABV (72 proof) in 750ml at $34.99. The stated profile leads with ripe white peach, soft vanilla, and a sweet-tangy peach finish. It is on shelves at Colorado retailers now, with national home delivery where permitted and a wider US retail rollout planned for autumn 2026. Shipping is US-only and several states are excluded, so international buyers will need to wait or travel.

Breckenridge Distillery has turned one of Colorado’s most sought-after summer crops into a bottle. On 11 August the distillery released Breckenridge Peach Whiskey, a flavored whiskey built around Palisade peaches, the fruit grown in the warm days and cool nights of the Grand Valley in the west of the state.

It is the second flavored expression in the range, following Honey Whiskey, and it arrives during a busy stretch for the distillery. A new Rye Whiskey landed in early July and the 2026 Heroes Edition Straight Bourbon dropped around the same time, which is an aggressive release cadence even for a decorated craft producer.

The key facts on Breckenridge Peach Whiskey

Breckenridge Peach Whiskey is bottled at 36% ABV, which is 72 proof in US terms. That sits a notch below standard whiskey strength and squarely in flavored-whiskey territory, where the fruit and the sweetness are meant to lead rather than the spirit. It comes in the standard 750ml format at a recommended $34.99.

The peaches are the point. Palisade peaches come from the Grand Valley region of western Colorado and are prized for their sweetness, a product of hot days and cool nights during the growing season. They are the same fruit Breckenridge Brewery has used in its Palisade Peach Wheat beer for the past five years, so this is home ground for the group.

Who is Breckenridge Distillery

Founded in Colorado in 2008, Breckenridge bills itself as the World’s Highest Distillery. Its reputation rests on its blended bourbon, a high-rye American whiskey that has collected a long list of awards, including ten Best American Blended titles at the World Whiskies Awards. In 2024 its Port Cask Finish was named World’s Best Finished Bourbon at the same competition, and its High Proof took World’s Best Blended Whiskey.

That track record is worth knowing here. A flavored peach whiskey is an approachable, easygoing product by design, and it comes from a house that has already proven it can handle the technical, serious end of American whiskey. The distillery is now a subsidiary of Tilray Brands.

What Breckenridge Peach Whiskey is meant to taste like

We have not tasted this one yet, so the notes below are the distillery’s own stated profile rather than a TDW verdict.

Breckenridge Peach Whiskey stated profile

Nose: Bright, fresh white peach, soft vanilla, orchard fruit, delicate sweetness 
Palate: Juicy peach, gentle warmth, subtle vanilla 
Finish: Lingering, sweet-tangy peach 
ABV: 36% (72 proof) | Format: 750ml | Price: $34.99

On paper it reads as a summer pour: fresh peach and orchard fruit up front, a little vanilla for softness, and a finish that leans sweet with a tangy edge. At 36% ABV it is built for sipping over ice, lengthening into a highball, or dropping into a cocktail where you want real peach character rather than syrup.

Price and where to buy Breckenridge Peach Whiskey

Breckenridge Peach Whiskey carries a recommended price of $34.99 for a 750ml bottle. It is on shelves at Colorado retailers now, available for national home delivery within the US where state law permits, and set for a wider national retail rollout in autumn 2026.

There is a catch for anyone outside Colorado, and a bigger one for anyone outside the US. Direct shipping from the distillery’s own shop excludes a long list of states: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Utah. There is no international shipping at launch, so readers in Europe, the UK, or elsewhere will need to wait for wider distribution or pick one up on a trip stateside.

Is Breckenridge Peach Whiskey worth it?

At $34.99 this is priced as an everyday flavored whiskey, and that is the right frame for it. If you enjoy real-fruit flavored whiskeys for long summer drinks, highballs, and easy cocktails, a peach expression from a distillery with Breckenridge’s bourbon pedigree is a simple one to reach for. The use of genuine Palisade peaches, rather than a generic flavoring, is the detail that lifts it above much of the category.

If you are chasing cask-strength single malts or high-proof bourbon, this is not aimed at you, and it does not pretend to be. It knows exactly what it is. Anyone who liked the Honey Whiskey has the clearest reason to try this next, and anyone outside the US should keep an eye on the autumn rollout to see whether distribution ever reaches them.
