TINCUP Whiskey — TINCUP Whiskey 2025 New Releases TINCUP Whiskey

TINCUP Whiskey was founded in 2014 by whiskey innovator Jess Graber (one of the founders of Stranahan’s). It’s named for the tin cup Colorado miners were known to drink from in the aptly named mining town of Tincup (originally called Virginia City) on the western side of the Rocky Mountains. While it’s well-known for its original TINCUP Mountain Whiskey, the brand recently announced the launch of three new releases.

TINCUP Bourbon joins the brand’s straight bourbon expressions of TINCUP Fourteener and TINCUP 10-Year. The new bourbon is lower-proof and has a more accessible price point. This 80-proof whiskey is matured in charred new American oak barrels for at least four years and features a flavor profile of vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, dried orange, and allspice.

TINCUP 6-Year Original American Whiskey is a blend of high-rye straight bourbon matured for six years and an American single malt whiskey. The result is a sweet and spicy, memorable whiskey known for its notes of citrus, black pepper, ginger snaps, rye spice, cinnamon, and caramel.

Only drinkers located in Colorado can purchase the limited-edition TINCUP 10-Year Straight Rye Whiskey. Bottled at 100-proof, this whiskey was matured for a full ten years. The result is a spicy, sweet, bold, multi-layered whiskey.

Tip Your Hat to Stetson Bourbon: The Natural Evolution of America’s Most Iconic Western Brand

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Stetson. You know the name. You proudly wear the hats. Now get to know its bourbon. America’s most iconic Western brand is launching Stetson Bourbon, touted as a “super-premium, high-rye proprietary blend distilled and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky.” The brand, created in 1865 by John B. Stetson, who invented and perfected the cowboy hat, is bringing the same quality and craftsmanship to its bourbon, blended by Kentucky Master Blender Dan Callaway.

The launch has been a long time coming, resulting in a bottle and spirit worthy of the Stetson name. After a three-year journey of sourcing and tasting, Stetson found its ideal blender and two of the most respected bourbon producers in Kentucky, Green River Distilling Co. and Bardstown Bourbon Company.

Force of Nature is elevating the meat delivery game

An old high school buddy recently hosted a boys’ weekend at his farm in Virginia. We spent two glorious days fishing, cooling off in swimming holes, and sipping whiskey at sunset. Before I headed back to New York, he sent me off with a box full of frozen venison. He had harvested the deer the previous fall, and a local game processor had turned it into sausages, backstrap, and steaks.

Back in Brooklyn, I seared the lean, ruby-red cutlets in French butter, spooned over a dollop of cherry jam, and paired them with a bottle of Daou Soul of a Lion. My girlfriend agreed: it was one of the finest—and healthiest—dinners I’ve ever cooked.

New tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels celebrates two UNESCO-recognized Mexican traditions

A new limited-edition tequila is bringing together two of Mexico’s most celebrated cultural traditions in a single bottle. Reserva de la Familia, the luxury tequila brand from Jose Cuervo, has unveiled Private Cask Collection Edition No. 2: Mole Cask, the first tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels.

The release highlights the deep connection between Mexico’s culinary and distilling heritage. The tequila begins its journey in the agave fields surrounding Tequila, Jalisco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its historic agave landscape and tequila production. It is then finished in barrels seasoned with mole, one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes and part of the country’s UNESCO-recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage of traditional cuisine.
