Tincup Fourteneer Bourbon Whiskey
Tincup Fourteener Bourbon Whiskey is a 14-year-old straight bourbon bottled at 84 proof (42% ABV) — the oldest expression Tincup has ever released, and an annual limited edition honoring Colorado's "14ers," the peaks that top 14,000 feet. Cut with Eldorado Springs water like every Tincup whiskey and aged 14 years in new white American oak, it is mountain bourbon at its most deliberate. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

A Peak in Every Release
Each Fourteener release dedicates its packaging to a different Colorado 14er — Release No. 1 honored Longs Peak, No. 2 Quandary Peak, and the current release Mount Sneffels. The brand backs the theme with money: Tincup donates $14,000 per release to the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative's Adopt-a-Peak program, which maintains the trails on the very mountains pictured on the bottle. Fourteen years in new oak gives it depth the younger Tincup lineup can't reach. Explore more bourbons or the full Tincup range.
Tasting Notes
Deep oak and vanilla up front from 14 years in new white American oak, with caramel, toasted spice, and a long, warming finish — the Rocky Mountain water keeps it smooth at full strength.
How to Enjoy
Neat to appreciate the 14-year oak depth, or with a single large cube. This is a collector's bottle as much as a pourer — the annual-release packaging changes every year.
