"Tincup is made from a blend of corn, rye, and malt cut with pure Rocky Mountain water. Technically speaking, it's a bourbon, but it also has a very high rye content. Our unique mash bill and extraordinarily pure water gives Tincup a bolder and spicier flavor than most bourbons. The name is a nod to the West's first whiskey drinkers. The miners that came through Colorado looking for gold drank their whiskey out of tin cups. Tin Cup, CO is also a town on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains with a long mining past. The Tincup Whiskey cap works as a cup, too." —producer |

"This high-rye Bourbon (which oddly, doesn't say 'Bourbon' on the label though it meets the basic criteria) is bold and spicy, and plays well in cocktail combinations. A big oak and vanilla mix finishes with clove, dried cherry, and a surprising, bright touch of lemon peel. It's not distilled in Colorado, but is cut with Rocky Mountain water." —Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast Magazine |
