TINCUP Whiskey — TINCUP Whiskey 2025 New Releases TINCUP Whiskey

TINCUP Whiskey was founded in 2014 by whiskey innovator Jess Graber (one of the founders of Stranahan’s). It’s named for the tin cup Colorado miners were known to drink from in the aptly named mining town of Tincup (originally called Virginia City) on the western side of the Rocky Mountains. While it’s well-known for its original TINCUP Mountain Whiskey, the brand recently announced the launch of three new releases.

TINCUP Bourbon joins the brand’s straight bourbon expressions of TINCUP Fourteener and TINCUP 10-Year. The new bourbon is lower-proof and has a more accessible price point. This 80-proof whiskey is matured in charred new American oak barrels for at least four years and features a flavor profile of vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, dried orange, and allspice.

TINCUP 6-Year Original American Whiskey is a blend of high-rye straight bourbon matured for six years and an American single malt whiskey. The result is a sweet and spicy, memorable whiskey known for its notes of citrus, black pepper, ginger snaps, rye spice, cinnamon, and caramel.

Only drinkers located in Colorado can purchase the limited-edition TINCUP 10-Year Straight Rye Whiskey. Bottled at 100-proof, this whiskey was matured for a full ten years. The result is a spicy, sweet, bold, multi-layered whiskey.

What are the different types of bourbon?

There are a handful of different types of bourbon

whiskey glass

In my almost two decades of writing about alcohol, I've learned many things. One thing I realized is that America's "native spirit" bourbon is by far the most beloved American whiskey variety. Sure, there are countless fans of American-made rye whiskey and the newly categorized American single malt whiskey. But neither is as popular as bourbon.

For those new to this type of whiskey, bourbon is geographically specific to the US. It must be made in the US (but definitely not just Kentucky) and have a mash bill of at least 51% corn. It must be distilled to no more than 160 proof and enter the barrel at 125. It also must be matured in new, charred American oak barrels and contain no artificial colors or flavorings. While there are a handful of other rules and regulations, those are the most important.
