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.

The new TINCUP whiskey releases include TINCUP Bourbon and TINCUP 6-Year Original American Whiskey, and a limited-time offering, TINCUP 10-Year Rye. The latter is available exclusively in its home state of Colorado.

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.

Move over IPAs — matcha beer is the new summer drink to try

What exactly is Matcha Beer?

Matcha Beer

Summer is here. It’s the season of days spent at the lake, beach, or floating in a river or creek with a beer in your hand. And while we enjoy a classic, crisp pilsner or hoppy IPA on a humid summer day, this year, we’re all about the trending Matcha Beer.

Before I delve into the beer itself, it’s essential to provide some background on matcha. In my years of writing professionally, I’ve spent a lot of time enjoying different types of tea and herbal beverages. When it comes to tea-centric drinks, it’s challenging to beat the appeal of matcha. Not only is matcha flavorful but this green-hued ground powder made from green tea leaves is also known for its antioxidant and healthy properties.

We asked bartenders to tell us the best tips for crafting cocktails at home

A handful of well-known bartenders told us tips to crafting great cocktails at home

Bartender

There hasn't always been as much enthusiasm about mixology. We can thank the cocktail renaissance of the early aughts for the rise in cocktail culture. Not only did it give way to a new wave of innovative, creative bartenders all over the US (and the world), but it also returned classic drinks to prominence and paved the way for a new age of home cocktailing. And while I could write about all of the exciting things the cocktail renaissance brought with it, today, I'm most interested in the art of crafting cocktails at home.

Like many of you, I'm not (and never have been) a bartender. But, in my work, I've spent much time in cocktail bars and around bartenders. I've created a simple, workable home bar featuring tools, ingredients, and bottles of various spirits. But I didn't start with a fully functional home bar on day one. And neither will you.
