"Tincup is sourced, high-rye whiskey cut with Rocky Mountain water. "Jess Graber was making a lot of American Single Malt, but he'd always been a bourbon fan," Aden says. "And he knew the water in this area was really special and different." It also serves as an explanation of why Tincup proofs tend to hover around 80 to 84. "It's a way to showcase our ingredients - in this case, the water," he adds. "And it obviously helps with the price.""
"But it's not all bourbon. The brand sources liquid from Indiana drinks giant MGP but also utilizes, in some cases, a small percentage of Stranahan's single malt. They also emphasize rye in the mash bill, which does deliver a little extra mouthfeel and kick. Other than that, Tincup's goals are modest. "I think it's a fine whiskey at a very approachable price," Aden says. Let's check it out."
Tincup Mountain Whiskey was created by Jess Graber and is named for Colorado mining pioneers and the tin cups they used. The brand is known for its hexagonal bottle and drinking cap. Tincup is a sourced, high-rye whiskey blended with Rocky Mountain water and often includes liquid from MGP alongside a small percentage of Stranahan's single malt. Proofs typically range from 80 to 84 to showcase the water and keep prices low. The core bourbon is aged four years, priced around $25, and shows corn-forward sweetness, an oily mouthfeel, and notes of caramel, vanilla, kettle corn, and a hint of citrus.
