Tincup American Whiskey is a Colorado mountain whiskey created by Jess Graber, a marriage of high-rye bourbon with a touch of Colorado single malt, bottled at 84 proof (42% ABV) with Rocky Mountain water.
Tincup was created by Jess Graber, the founder of Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, as a mountain whiskey for the Colorado Rockies. Its cap is a metal tin cup, and a Colorado hang tag dangles from the neck.
Tincup combines a high-rye bourbon distilled and aged in Indiana, with about 32% rye in the mash, and a small amount of single malt distilled and aged in Colorado. It is bottled in Colorado at 84 proof using pure Rocky Mountain water, and the label simply says American whiskey rather than bourbon, reflecting the blend of two whiskey styles in one bottle.
The high-rye bourbon brings spice, the Colorado single malt adds a malty depth, and the 84-proof bottling keeps it smooth and easy to sip, whether neat or in a mixed drink.
Pour it into the cup that comes on top, sip it neat or on the rocks, or mix a whiskey highball, a Whiskey Sour or an Old Fashioned. It is an easy whiskey to share around a campfire or after a day on the slopes, and the tin cup on top means you always have something to pour it into. A natural gift for anyone who loves the Colorado mountains, and an approachable bottle for bourbon and rye fans alike.
