TINCUP American Whiskey

I’ve been wanting to try this one after I learned that the owner of this one also owns Stranahan’s. I used to thing Tin Cup was just trying to copy Stranahan’s tip cup on top of bottle schtick, but they’re related. And I heard from the owner that the Colorado whiskey portion of the blend is in fact Stranahan’s. Anyway, the nose is sweet with some rye spice, vanilla, cola. I also get a tequila note as well. The palate is sweet and fairly light. Some vanilla and some rye. Not a ton on the palate. Then it has a shorter finish. I think this one is easy to drink. Only a few standout flavors, but they are present.

Great balance of oak and light spices. Some burn but the spice lingers a while. Quite nice.

Has a nice bite at the end. The cup and the bottle is worth the price. There’s a hint of Carmel and Vanilla. I think it’s worth adding to the whiskey/bourbon shelf for sure
