{"product_id":"breckenridge-mountain-shot-mushroom-infused-whiskey-750ml","title":"Breckenridge Mountain Shot Mushroom-Infused Whiskey 750ml","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMountain Shot isn't trying to be a sipping whiskey, and Breckenridge Distillery says so directly — this is a whiskey built specifically to be a shot, designed for \"your après-ski, your campfire hangs, and your late-night legends.\" What makes it genuinely unusual is the infusion: Japanese maitake mushroom, also known as \"Hen of the Woods\" or, in Japan, the \"dancing mushroom,\" blended into a whiskey base carrying rich chocolate and cool, invigorating mint. The mushroom's role isn't flavor so much as texture — Breckenridge's own team describes it adding \"a rich, earthy undertone and a creamy mouthfeel that sets Mountain Shot apart from anything else on the shelf.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\"Our mission has always been to challenge conventions while honoring the craftsmanship of creating whiskey,\" said Bryan Nolt, Founder and CEO of Breckenridge Distillery. \"With Mountain Shot, we've created something that's not only unique but also celebrates the diversity of flavors and meets our consumers where they want to be drinking — at the bar, at the base of a mountain, or at their après.\" The whiskey comes from a distillery with real, verifiable credentials behind it: three-time Icons of Whisky winner, ten-time Best American Blended winner at the World Whiskies Awards, and four-time Colorado Distillery of the Year at the New York International Spirits Competition — recognition that applies to Breckenridge's broader lineup, even as Mountain Shot itself charts an entirely different, more playful course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe official tasting notes describe an aroma of \"chocolate with subtle hints of mint,\" developing into a palate that's \"rich, creamy chocolate\" building \"to a minty crescendo, with a lingering finish that's fresh and unforgettable.\" Worth sharing honestly: customer reception on Breckenridge's own site has been genuinely mixed. One reviewer called it \"very tasty whiskey,\" specifically enjoying it \"in iced cold brew coffee.\" Others were considerably less enthusiastic — one review reads simply \"this is not good!!!\", while another notes: \"our family united for a tasting and, unfortunately, none of us were fans. But don't worry, we have PLENTY of Breckenridge spirits we love! We will leave the Mountain Shot for others to enjoy!\" This is genuinely a novelty, occasion-driven product rather than a serious sipping whiskey — built for shot glasses at the base of a mountain, not a Glencairn on the coffee table, and reception will likely come down to how much you enjoy chocolate-mint flavored spirits as a category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBreckenridge Mountain Shot is produced by Breckenridge Distillery, an award-winning craft spirits producer based in Breckenridge, Colorado, and part of Tilray Brands, Inc. Launched in August 2025, Mountain Shot combines a whiskey base with rich chocolate and cool mint flavors, infused with Japanese maitake mushroom (also known as \"Hen of the Woods\"), added specifically for its earthy depth and distinctive, creamy mouthfeel rather than for direct flavor. The product was designed as a tribute to mountain culture, outdoor adventurers, and the après-ski lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe whiskey-based version is bottled at 69 proof, available in 750ml bottles, 1-liter bottles, and portable 100ml resealable pouches; a separate 30-proof malt-based version is sold in 100ml pouches at convenience stores. Breckenridge Distillery has earned broad recognition across its wider portfolio, including three Icons of Whisky wins, ten Best American Blended Whiskey wins at the World Whiskies Awards, four Colorado Distillery of the Year titles from the New York International Spirits Competition, and six Double Gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNo formal numerical critic score is confirmed for this product at this time — a very recent, novelty-category release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreckenridge Distillery (official tasting notes):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Aroma: Chocolate with subtle hints of mint.
