TINCUP’s oldest whiskey released to date is the ‘Fourteener Bourbon Whiskey,’ a traditional American whiskey influenced by nature. TINCUP Fourteener is the first in an annual release of 14-year-aged bourbon whiskeys that pays homage to TINCUP's beginnings in Colorado.
TINCUP Fourteener Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at 42% ABV, and the resulting liquid is a rich, smooth spirit with a scent of warm vanilla, sugar cookie, and sweet syrupy overtones. Caramel and juicy apricot flavors are present on the tongue when sipping before a medium-length candied vanilla provides a satisfying finish.
"I’m so excited for TINCUP fans to try this new aged bourbon whiskey," said Jess Graber, founder of TINCUP Whiskey. "Not only does Fourteener’s name pay homage to the rugged peaks that dot its home state of Colorado, it truly embodies our spirit of adventure. If you’ve ever been on the top of a 14er, you know it’s truly something to celebrate."
