I seldom drink, but thank goodness I have Breckenridge here tonight.

I'm not a drinker, but when I first saw what you wrote I thought about the Confederates vice president Breckenridge who was a big drinker. Not sure if spelling is the same and whether the bourbon or whiskey was named after him.

I don’t think so. It’s made in Breckenridge, Colorado.

We just moved to CO from Texas and it was recommended. It’s pretty good!

Breckenridge was VP of the United states before the war. He ran as a Democrat for president in 1860...the election which Lincoln won thus beginning secession and ultimately the civil war. Breckenridge sided with the confederates even though his home state kentucky never left the union. He was a confederate General. I don’t believe he became secretary of war. Alexander Stevens was the vice president of the confederacy.
