Tincup Fourteener 14 year old, 42%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2023 ● Reviewer: Ted Simmons ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
Sweet and sugary on the nose; notes of crème brûlée, pancake syrup, powdered sugar, and cinnamon French toast, alongside flame orange disc and worn leather. It’s rustic, with lovely bake shop and citrus aromas. The palate is creamy, papery, and thin, laying a bit flat while conveying cinnamon gum and black peppercorns. The finish furthers these spice notes. This whiskey peaks on the nose, offering a light yet mature profile.
