A Whiskey blend from Colorado that'll melt on your tongue.
Jess Graber had been distilling as a hobby for more than thirty years, making small batches of Whiskey and Moonshine on the side from his home in Colorado. Then a good friend bequeathed him a still, so he took up distilling full-time in 2004, founding Tincup Whiskey in Tin Cup, Colorado. The name refers to the tin cups that the miners of the old west would keep on top of the Whiskey jugs for easy drinking, and each bottle of Tincup American Whiskey comes with a small, tin shot glass capping each bottle.
Tincup 10 Year Old American Whiskey marries a high-rye Bourbon that was distilled and aged in Indiana with Single Malt that was distilled and aged in Colorado. Both Whiskeys were aged in char #3 barrels and the blend is cut with pure Colorado’s Rocky Mountain water before bottling. The final result? At a lower 84 proof, the sweet notes of oak, orange, vanilla, and brown sugar literally melt on your tongue. Sip it neat or add a few drops of water to open it up even more.
