Tincup American Whiskey

Tincup American Whiskey is crafted as a tribute to the American West and Colorado’s pioneering spirit. Founded by whiskey enthusiast Jess Graber and inspired by Colorado’s mining heritage, Tincup blends Indiana-distilled, high-rye straight bourbon (65% corn, 32% rye, 4% malted barley) with a small amount of Colorado single malt whiskey. The blend is aged in charred American oak barrels for 4–5 years, then proofed with Rocky Mountain water at an elevation of over 5,200 feet. The result is an aromatic and approachable whiskey with a caramel-golden hue, offering a bouquet of caramel, citrus, black pepper, and gentle herbal notes. On the palate, expect smooth layers of vanilla, cinnamon, sweet honey, dried fruits, and baking spices, enlivened by rye spice and a peppery kick. The finish is crisp, clean, and slightly peppery, ensuring versatility—enjoyed neat, over ice, or in cocktails. Tincup’s adventurous character and smooth profile have earned it accolades at major spirits competitions and made it a favorite for campfires, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking a rugged yet refined American whiskey experience.
