Tincup Straight Rye, 45%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2020 ● Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton ● Category: Rye Whiskey
Dark berries, cola, iced tea, dark chocolate, toasted oak, white pepper, and lime on the nose, permeated by an earthy character. Strong oak on the palate is kept in check by spice—ginger, cinnamon, pepper—and dark fruit, with notes of black tea and roasted peanuts as well. The finish is nutty and quite spiced, with lingering blackberries and a touch of bitter oak.
