TINCUP is a robust and spicy bourbon that's blended with pure Rocky Mountain water sourced by distilling legend Jess Graber. The whiskey derives its intense flavor from a mash profile rich in rye, a deliberate choice made by Graber due to his belief that most American Whiskey was too mild. At the forefront, TINCUP presents notes of pepper, cinnamon, and orange, which gradually transition to a smoother vanilla undertone and a concise, clean finish. Graber suggests enjoying it neat or with a single ice cube, but this intricate whiskey can also be incorporated into classic cocktails with ease. Named after a historic mining town from the gold rush era nestled in the Colorado mountains, TINCUP pays tribute to the state's earliest imbibers: the miners who settled in the rugged mountains and sipped their whiskey from tin cups. The bottle's cap doubles as a twist-off metal cup, adding an extra layer of homage to the whiskey's name and its origins.

We love a great margarita. But when brunching with friends on a Sunday or watching some football, we sure love a great Bloody Mary. And our Bloody Mary mix, with its bold, spicy flavors, really captures the spirit of Mexico. In fact, for as long as Tequila (and Tequila drinks) have been around, the people of Mexico have paired it with tomato juice, citrus and spices, a drink they call Sangrita. Tres Agaves Organic Bloody Mary Mix is the first to bring this Mexican-style Bloody Mary to the US. And with organic, all-natural ingredients: just tomato, citrus, peppers, lime and agave nectar. Our secret mix complements vodka yet also balances Tequila’s bolder flavor profile. You may already know how to make a margarita. Now you have a great, simple recipe for the perfect Bloody Mary.

Maker Notes

This elegant and complex whisky was initially created from more than fifty different Scotch whiskies, as a superb example of the blender’s art. Initially blended as an ultra-premium 30 year old for the burgeoning market in the Far East, once the initial bottling had been completed, a precious remnant was transferred into seven Spanish Hogshead casks that had previously held Oloroso sherry, and returned to a traditional warehouse in the Lowlands of Scotland. There it began its second maturation, which lasted a further 20 years until we bottled it in late 2015.

Over the course of this slow process of ageing, the whisky developed extraordinary richness and depth of flavour, taking on character traits from both woods – stone-fruit and honey from the Bourbon wood, and a rich, spicy quality from the Sherry wood – for an effect we call ‘double matured.’ It is an exceptional 50 year old whisky, complex, multi-layered and truly delicious.

MARTIN EBER’S (TIME FOR WHISKY) TASTING NOTES

Spice. Passionfruit and pineapple. Coke bottle lollies again. The oak is still in perfect balance, and the whisky feels like it could have many years still to go. A few drops of water amps up the sherry (adding mocha/milk chocolate notes, and some leather), and tones down the fruitier notes. There’s the tiniest hint of smoke too. The finish is long, with milk chocolate, coffee and leather.

Rating: 95/100. Just incredible. I love a well-aged ex-Bourbon whisky, for the big tropical fruit notes, and I love a well-aged, heavily sherried whisky for the “Christmas cake” notes. This has both. In spades. A stunning achievement and yet still such a vibrant whisky. It’s only February but I suspect this will be one of the highlight tastings of the year for us.
