TinCup Rye Whiskey

Tasting Notes

About:

90 proof; 95% rye, 5% barley; distilled and aged for three years in Indiana; around $30 a bottle. Color: Auburn
Appearance:
Nose:
There’s aromas of straw, earth, grass, with hints of root and ginger
Palate:
Tin Cup Rye has a good, thick, mouthful. It’s bitter with a spicy rye flavor. I found this whiskey to be very smooth and easy to drink.
Finish:
Comments:
I found TinCup Rye Whiskey to be very smooth, almost buttery, and not overpowering on spice. There’s a pleasant aftertaste and not a lot of flavor. It’s classic and conservative with an understated finish. I recommend this one as it would be good to mix and good to drink on it’s own. Tin Cup even recommends using it for an Old Fashioned.
