AN American whiskey said to have been inspired by the gold rush miners of Colorado has reached Scottish bars.
Tincup – an 84% proof whiskey that’s said to have a “bold and spicy” flavour – has been launched in the UK by Proximo Spirits. On-trade stockists include Lucky Liquor in Edinburgh.
The brainchild of co-founder and distiller Jess Graber, Tincup takes its name from the gold rush miners who drank whiskey out of tin cups and the mining town of Tin Cup in Colorado.
