Tin Cup Citrus, Spice, Caramel, American Whiskey, 70 cl plus Drinking Tin Cup

Product Information

As mentioned previously, Tincup was originally a mining town, and the miners would drink out of, and carry gold in, tin cups. For marketing purposes and to pay homage to the old, small town (now a ghost town), Jess names the whiskey Tincup. Tincup Whiskey at First Glance After that proprietary mixing of bourbons happens at MGP they ship the whiskey to the Stranahan’s facility in Colorado where Jess and his crew do two things to it before bottling. They cut the whiskey with Colorado water and they add a little bit of Stranahan’s to the mix which, as Jess says, “is like adding salt and pepper to your meal, it’s just a little bit”. He won’t disclose how much, but at that point it couldn’t be called a bourbon any more anyways since it has another liquor added to it. Like the Jim Beam Spanish Brandy it would have to adopt a much clunkier name like “Bourbon Whiskey finished with Colorado Malt Whiskey” (or something like that). At which point using the catchall American Whiskey is a whole lot easier while simultaneously removing it from mental competition with bourbon.

Throw some simple syrup, bitter, and an orange twist in a glass of with Tincup. I prefer it as a mule or neat, but a Tincup Old Fashioned is still a solid choice. Tincup Whiskey Price The tasting, hosted in the scenic overlook room at Twin Owls, was led by Graber and Proximo whiskey educator Jason Levinson. The hike, which was led by guides from the Colorado Mountain School, was a 7.5-mile loop with peak elevation of about 11,000 feet. They liked it, but they said, ‘Do you know how to make ‘Merican whiskey?’ There’s no ‘A’ in ‘American’; it’s just ‘Merican whiskey,” Graber said. “And what they were talking about was a bourbon.” In my book, it’s a 10/10 design. Functional yet visually appealing, unique yet classic, all at the same time.

Tincup whiskey, the brand founded by Stranahan’s co-founder Jess Graber, on Tuesday announced the launch of its fourth and oldest expression: Tincup Fourteener. Since then, the brand has launched that whiskey — Tincup American Whiskey — as well as a rye, a 10-year-old bourbon and now the Fourteener. This is the Tincup whiskey we’ve covered thus far. It is a blend of MGP high rye bourbon and Stranahan’s Single Malt. Aged at least four years in #3 charred oak barrels and bottled at 42% abv (84 proof). Tincup 10 The name “Tincup” comes from the mining town of Tincup, Colorado. Miners, the story goes, would bring whiskey in bottles to the mines during their workdays. In need of something to seal their bottles with, since the dry climate of Colorado would cause corks to shrivel and fall into the whiskey or off the bottle onto the ground. The miners solved this problem by using what they had available to them in the mines: tin. They heated the tin and melded it around the top of their bottles, creating a seal. It is for this reason that every Tincup bottle is topped by, well, a tin cup.

NOSE: Rich cocoa and honey, waffle batter, toffee and a touch of praline, caramel. It’s surprisingly nutty, a good deal of peanut brittle, light almond and a touch of walnut.
