Tincup American Whiskey is made with a mashbill of rye, corn and malt, devised by Jess Graber - who's been playing around with distilling for the past 30 years and decided to make it his full time job. It's brought down to bottling strength using Colorado Rocky Mountain water. The name comes from gold miners in Colorado, who used to drink their whiskey from a tin cup - as such, the lid of Tincup American Whiskey can be used as a drinking vessel.

First drink and it flooded me with memories of days gone by....i should explain that i was an autobody technician for 34 years and this has the distinct taste of paint thinner...lol no way should anyone like this whiskey but it grabs you and wont let go. Heavy on the sinuses with a strong alcohol burn but there is just something that keeps you coming back for more and no worries of a hangover the next morning like most bourbon whiskeys...this goes down smooth and warms you up the way down. It's not Jameson ,as far as whiskeys go, but there is no embarrassment in getting a bottle for special occasions.
Lovely spicy taste. I adore the shape of the bottle and the little tin cup that comes with it. I highly recommend.
Blends into a multitude of cocktails. Fantastic American original and a nice change of pace from bourbon.
A surprisingly good American bourbon with a good balance of stone fruit sweetness and slight spiced after taste
@Old Fashioned Winner -- This isn't "bourbon." By American law, whiskey called "bourbon" can't have any additives, not even artificial colouring (which most scotches have). Tincup American Whiskey has had a small amount of American single malt whiskey added to it (Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, specifically), hence the generic name "American Whiskey" being used in Tincup's name instead of the word "Bourbon."
