Straight Bourbon | 42% ABV | 84 Proof | 750mL | USA | Aged 14 Years | Limited-Edition Series
Process & Profile
Tincup Fourteener 14 Year Colorado Bourbon Whiskey pairs a fourteen-year age statement with the brand’s Colorado mountain heritage. Its name honors the state’s “fourteeners”—peaks that rise above 14,000 feet. The series celebrates these mountains through annual releases featuring artwork dedicated to different Colorado peaks.
The bourbon matures for fourteen years in new American white oak barrels before being brought to bottling strength with Eldorado Springs water from Colorado. Presented at 84 proof, Fourteener offers long-aged bourbon at a moderate strength, making it an option for drinkers who prioritize mature whiskey over higher-proof releases.
The producer’s flavor profile centers on vanilla, caramel, and syrup-like sweetness, followed by butterscotch on the finish. Alongside the whiskey, the series reflects TINCUP’s support for the Colorado Fourteener Initiative and its work preserving mountain trails.
