From Jess Graber, the co-founder, of Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey -
"I began distilling in 1972, just three months after moving to Nederland, Colorado from Missouri at the age of 22....
Tincup is my take on classic American Whiskey. I wanted to make a whiskey with a bourbon style profile, but with a more powerful and spicy flavor. Tincup has a high rye mash bill, so it's got great spice and pepper notes, but balanced with the sweeter notes from bourbon. It's made using Midwestern grains, aged in new American white oak barrels and cut with Rocky Mountain water. The name is a nod to Colorado's first whiskey drinkers - the miners that came through looking for gold and drank their whiskey out of tin cups. The cap works as a cup too -- you can us it to share with friends. I drink it neat, with a bit of water, or an ice cube. I hope you like it." -- Jess Graber
