Breckenridge Distillery Releases Powder Hound Whiskey

The Powder Hound is an exceptional, top of the line bourbon. Released in batches, Powder Hound Whiskey is a blend of bourbons from some of the oldest and best barrels in our library. On our first release of the Powder Hound, we weren’t sure if there would ever be another – years ago. However, as of 2024 (and the 17th batch) Powder Hound continues to be a fan favorite for all who visit Breckenridge Distillery. This Distillery-exclusive whiskey is perfect for the whiskey, dog, or ski enthusiast in your life.

Powder Hound

Defined by a deep love for both Powder Days and our canine companions, every batch brings a very special Distiller’s Blend inspired by our Head Distiller Hans Stafsholt. This blend exemplifies what Hans looks for in a barrel and allows us to continue to donate to a worthy cause. “Powder Hound is a unique balance of a blend between 3 barrels hand-selected out of 20-30 barrels. I wanted to create something complex, yet fun,” says Hans Stafsholt.

Swing by the Breckenridge Distillery or Main Street Tasting Room for a tasting and to take home a bottle of Powder Hound.

Tasting Notes-

Warm candied orange and toasted oak aromas envelope the nose over notes of vanilla bean. Orange marmalade flavor presents itself forefront, evolving to a cinnamon and white pepper spice finish. An elegant and refined Bourbon that is truly a Distiller’s Blend, and a dog’s best friend.

The Name-

Its name comes from our love for dogs but shares meaning with the reason we all live here, Colorado powder days. From the most epic powder days with deep fluffy turns to catching a snowflake on our tongues, the Distillery is constantly inspired by our backyard and the great outdoors. We share this desire to explore with man’s best friend. If you’ve visited our offices at the Distillery, you know that dogs sometimes outnumber our employees.

Each bottle is adorned with a metal dog tag for your pooch.

For a Cause-

To align our support of our dog community in Breckenridge, we’ve teamed up with organizations like the Summit County Animal Shelter, C-RAD and The Rescue For PTSD to donate $5 from each bottle sale. To date, Breckenridge Distillery has been proud to donate over $50K to dog-related organizations.
