Tincup 14 year old Fourteener Quandary Peak (Release No. 2), 42%

Price: 70 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: Shane English Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

Tincup’s oldest bourbon to date opens with a richly spiced nose, leading with brown sugar, cinnamon rolls, and a smoky whisper of pine and mint. The palate is a balanced blend of sweet and heat with baked apples and honey weaving between cracked black pepper and light astringent oak. The finish is elegant with toffee, a hint of toasted coconut, and charred wood.
