TINCUP^® Whiskey celebrates category boom ahead of World Whisky Day

Follow your adventurous spirit this World Whisky Day,Saturday 16^th May, by enjoying a dram straight from the Colorado mountains to experience why American Whiskey has continued to grow in popularity.

The American Whiskey category is as popular as ever and has seen further growth in the last year (Source: Forbes), so this World Whisky Day is the ideal time to celebrate with a TINCUP^® Whiskey, the perfect example of this exciting and flavourful spirit.

TINCUP^® Whiskey is a celebration of the rugged spirit of the Colorado mountain lifestyle. It is named after Tincup, an old mining town set on the Western Slope of Colorado, which itself was named after the tin cups from which the miners drank their daily whiskey following a shift in the depths of the Rocky Mountains. TINCUP honours this heritage with its rugged hexagonal bottle that is deeply embossed with mountain references. The bottle is also topped with a traditionally styled tin cup that can be used for sipping and sharing the whiskey.

TINCUP^® Whiskey was created by distilling legend and true American mountain man Jess Graber, it is made from a unique blend of Mid-Western rye, corn and malt. Its unusually high rye content at 32% provides a bolder, spicier flavour profile compared to ordinary bourbons, and preferred by leading bartenders for its strength of flavor when mixed in cocktails.

Aged in new charred American white oak barrels, it is bottled at 42% abv in Colorado using pure Rocky Mountain water. On the nose, TINCUP evokes notes of citrus, black pepper and ginger snaps. On the palate, TINCUP brings rye spice, cinnamon and caramel.

TINCUP is best enjoyed with friends for the perfect ending to any adventure or recently, as part of your virtual social catch ups while you’re planning the next one. Sip neat or with a few ice cubes, or use as a base for classic whiskey cocktails like the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned. TINCUP is also perfect as part of a Boilermaker serve – paired with a quality IPA or lager.

TINCUP^® Whiskey is available from Asda or online at Amazon, Master of Malt and The Whiskey Exchange.
