The Tincup whiskey is mostly MGP too. The label states it is a high rye bourbon distilled and aged in Indiana, then mixed with a small amount of Colorado Single Malt.
well, corn is yellow but also has green, barley grain is also somewhat brown but also has green, and finally, rye is also brown with green. So I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!
Living in Denver, I've seen this on the shelf at liquor stores for several months now. Definitely been meaning to try this one as I do enjoy the regular Tin Cup.
If you like Tincup Rye try Redemption Rye, and Rebel Yell Rye. They're the same MGP rye, but even slightly cheaper than the Tincup. I enjoy them all and keep them all on my shelf.
Drinking some MGP rye tonight (Bulleit) ... definitely get the anise / black licorice note in it. Also freshly cut grass and mint. Usually not my favorite, but rather refreshing tonight.
Can we get a MGP rye showdown? A battle of MGP products... if not can we get a editor battle between fancy Dan, the hand and Rex before he becomes lazy?
Thanks for pointing out that this is distilled in Indiana, not Colorado. Tincup whiskey was being marketed like it was some kind of craft distillery product made in Colorado, with a price to reflect that, when in fact it was mass-produced Indiana product that was only bottled in Colorado. There was a class action suit against Proximo , who owns Tincup, for false advertising, which resulted in a $425,000 settlement. Tincup's okay for drinking, but no better than a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 which costs a lot less.
Walking through the liquor store, “oh look a new rye!” Reading the label, handcrafted small batch historied (Distilled in IN) “Damn not again!” I like MGP distillate but I also like transparency and tact. Cheers 🥃 - Patrick
Yo Fancy Dan....Loving the little touches your adding to the vids. Great work. You deserve a pour. (looks at Rex and Daniel) What happened to the crickets?
FOR SCIENCE!! What if, as an experiment, the first whiskey after a dry week you try a rye whiskey. That would answer the question of why you no longer taste the licorice note.
Agreed! Also, my marketer wife would probably point out that the brand recognition Rex displayed is worth thousands of $ in marketing compared to the $0.50 jigger. As an accountant, I’ll make that deal every day.
Justin Ellason can I find a list of these bottles somewhere? I am relatively new to whisky and really intrested in their picks but can’t get a good look.
Question for Daniel and Rex, where do you guys get most of your comments from these days? It seems there is less engagement with the TH-cam comments and more with the Facebook and Sub-Reddit.
I went to get a bottle of the normal tin cup from my local supermarket and there was only one bottle left.... without the cup.... I refused to buy it and had to wait until the week after until the new delivery came in. NO CUP... NO LOVE LOL
I have a couple used barrel questions. How long do barrels last? I imagine it varies by climate. But within the same climate, does how it's used change things? Is there a different longevity between a barrel aging one whiskey for 20 years vs a barrel aging 5 whiskeys for 4 years each? Are barrels that produce exceptional whiskeys, like single cask releases, given more attention for reuse? Also, a crazy idea. If you had, say, a used bourbon barrel and a used sherry barrel that where made by the same cooperage, could you take them apart, and rebuild the barrels with mixed staves? Might make for some interesting finishing.
You can re use a barrel, but it will have different characteristics the second time around. You must realize, though, you can never, ever, make a bourbon in a used barrel. By law, all bourbon must be aged on new oak. No sherry aged bourbon allowed!
Isn't the regular Tin Cup American Whiskey just MGP bourbon mixed with a splash of Stranahans and proofed down with Colorado spring water? Not that there is anything wrong with that, just wonder why the boys are surprised the Rye is also sourced.
contentioushackery That is the exact story you will hear on a tour at Stranahan’s with the addition that Jess Graber moved to Indiana and started growing corn, then started distilling again and had Stranahan’s bottle it under the Tin Cup brand.
Which Rye(s), in your opinion, are actual "Rye" tasting as in not MGP tasting rye, Crafted Rye I guess would be the term? I have tried Pikesville, Tincup and OF Rye. All taste great but when i think of rye I think of spice, rye bread, anise, caraway notes, etc... seem to be absent or buried in the ones I have tried.
My friend got me this as a gift and I'm normally pretty meh on rye but this one I really did like a lot. It's gotten me interested in maybe trying a few others.
I like Tin Cup. I have several jigger cups in the cupboard, trying to figure out a neat thing to do with them. I love their bottle. The glass is thick and the bottle is singularly beautiful. And the taste is great. Wish we had a lot more 'American Whiskies' to choose from. Don't understand it. Will try the rye, even if it's distilled in Indiana (darn it!). As an aside, why do I go digging through my liquor cabinet after watching the Vault? It's almost as bad as watching a cheeseburger video at 11pm. I'm screwed if I do that.
I have to admit that I hold MGP up as the benchmark for rye whisky. NOT because I am young and it's the only kind I've had (I'm pushing fifty) but because it is SO damned GOOD! Willett and Sazarac are both really good non-MGP ryes that still have that spicy flavor that I love too. Sorry Balcones, but I don't want my rye whisky to taste like coffee.
Hey Daniel and Rex, I’m a new sub and have enjoyed all three of your channels tremendously! I’m relatively new to whiskey and y’all have helped me to learn so much, thank you. When my ( now 2 year old ) son was born we bought a bottle of Chivas Royal salute 21, we drank exactly half the bottle with family and friends. The 2nd half we are saving for his 21st birthday. Will it save that long? What can I do to make it save for him? Thank you for your help
Daniel says they have a large box filled with flavored whiskies that they have been avoiding reviewing. Sounds like a recipe for a very fun filled live-stream to me. Make it happen, people!
3 super nerdy questions. 1. why have i never heard of a whiskey made with spelt as at least one of the grains? 2. whenever people talk about ex bourbon casks its always super general. But my expectation would be that an ex Stag cask would be very different from an ex four Roses cask. do distillers take this into account? 3. do you know of any whiskeys that use ex rye casks for aging or finishing?
Johnnie Walker and Chivas Regal both have rye finished releases available out there,...l don't know of any American whiskies that are rye finished though.
From my understanding, the Scottish industry doesn't even distinguish between Tennessee and Bourbon casks, let alone between different distillers. Differences between casks are adjusted for at the blending stage.
@@GrizzAxxemann There's very little rye in most Canadian 'ryes'. In fact, I understand that legally it can be called 'rye' without actually containing any rye at all.
🙋🏻♂️ Bean counter here. I’d definitely recommend axing the additional cost of the tins, since that’s our job. But the branding value of it is undeniable
On the anise note....to be honest guys I am relatively new to the tasting because I used to not like whiskeys. And I do not get anise...if I did...I would not drink it...anise tends to make me gag :)
Aside from the constant restock in the vault idea, I am wondering when you guys will go down Rye lane and sample a bunch back to back as popular or at least highly recommended Rye whiskey. If anything it might help you both narrow down where that black liquorice note is showing up. 🖖😎🥃
A good bean counter like me, who also happens to drink rye whiskey, would want to know how much that little tin cup affects sales. If it doesn't offset enough of the cost to justify it, I would recommend that you get rid of it.
dskwared2u to be fair, I feel like they’re entirely committed to the bit, and to back out of adding a cup to the bottle literally called “Tincup” would be a snowball of entirely rebranding everything at great expense
I think I've been watching too much tv in quarantine but I think a whisky bottle beauty paegent would make a great tribe episode. Categories include: best curvy, best fiddlybit, classic timeless beauty, bikini and folklore

The tin cup totally worked on me. I'm a sucker for a gimmick, especially if it makes me feel like I got something for free.
The Tincup whiskey is mostly MGP too. The label states it is a high rye bourbon distilled and aged in Indiana, then mixed with a small amount of Colorado Single Malt.
I think Daniel also says the Colorado Single Malt is Stranahans
Why does Rye always seem to have a green label regardless of who makes it?
Rye not?
@@burleymullins8776 My god, somewhere Daniel is very proud of this dad joke.
There are a few oddities out there that don't use a green label. Taconic's rye has a grey/off-white label whereas their bourbon has a dark green one.
well, corn is yellow but also has green, barley grain is also somewhat brown but also has green, and finally, rye is also brown with green. So I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!
Jim Beam used to be yellow.
This is starting to become part of my morning routine. Whiskey Vault in the morning

"What did we say about this before?" NOTHING. In the original Tin Cup episode, you guys didn't give a single note on the whiskey.
Thank you!
"It's a very friendly whisky"
Living in Denver, I've seen this on the shelf at liquor stores for several months now. Definitely been meaning to try this one as I do enjoy the regular Tin Cup.
Fancy Dan, you're editing "flourishes" are becoming more magnificent with each episode. Keep at it, you fancy youngster.
Kevin W. Eaches thanks for the props!
I don't know how those awkward silences are so consistently funny.
I freakin' love tin cup for a cheaper whiskey! And I love that I have like 5 of the cups 😂
Can we get that list of the 36 bottles you use to teach the sommelier course? Pretty please?!
First time commenting - love this whiskey. Price point is reasonable for a quality rye far better than most over-hyped ryes out there. Cheers!
This seems like one of those fake comments that companies will pay a writer to put on yelp reviews. But I'll believe you I guess.
If you like this one, get Bulleit instead. It's the same whiskey but aged longer (4-7 years vs. 3 years) and at least $10 cheaper near me.
If you like Tincup Rye try Redemption Rye, and Rebel Yell Rye.
They're the same MGP rye, but even slightly cheaper than the Tincup.
I enjoy them all and keep them all on my shelf.

Kisiel2279 there was an episode last week where they listed them all out. Can’t remember which one tho
@Kisiel2279 The episode is MB Roland Straight Bourbon Review
Everytime you open up a bottle of Tin Cup, the screaming cowboy in the sky rides again.

Yup. They day the end the cup is the day I wont buy. Imagine CR without the bag
What are those lighted up bottles in the back, are they special in some kind of way?
Awaiting that first skullet episode....
Im new as heck! What does MGP stand for? Or atleast more info about?
Is there a full list of the whiskeys used during the classes available online anywhere?
I have a couple used barrel questions. How long do barrels last? I imagine it varies by climate. But within the same climate, does how it's used change things? Is there a different longevity between a barrel aging one whiskey for 20 years vs a barrel aging 5 whiskeys for 4 years each?
Are barrels that produce exceptional whiskeys, like single cask releases, given more attention for reuse?
Also, a crazy idea. If you had, say, a used bourbon barrel and a used sherry barrel that where made by the same cooperage, could you take them apart, and rebuild the barrels with mixed staves? Might make for some interesting finishing.

lmao love the new edits
You should give out the list of the whiskeys used for class.
That “yeah” Daniel said right before the awkward pause was the most solemn “yeah” I think I’ve ever heard lol just so deflated
I love tincup you need to try the 10 year tincup havnt got a chance to yet
Have you guys ever done an MGP shootout?
is that a special edition bottle of Redemption? It looks a lot different than the one I have.
i would love to see you guys give a talk in the UK.
my personal out loud audible laughter on the awkward moment, crickets were a nice touch!!!
Is Angel's Envy Rye MGP?
What’s with the split screen?
Watched the Tin Cup review just before this. They got off the rails so quick in that one, there was maybe 30 seconds of actual review.
Stranahan's is also a Colorado whiskey and also has a tin cup atop The bottle. Who was first and is this a Colorado thing?
A little research revealed that one man Jess graber is behind both whiskeys. Jess must like his tin cups. For the record he started Stranahan's first.
Really looking forward to trying this
Where did the Lagavulin bottle go from the wall of fame ?
Have you guys reviewed Peanut-butter Whisky yet? If not you should for comedy sake. (I gag every time I even think about it)
Daniel says they have a large box filled with flavored whiskies that they have been avoiding reviewing.
Sounds like a recipe for a very fun filled live-stream to me.
Make it happen, people!
Skullet. Skullet. Skullet. Skullet. Skullet. Skullet.
How can I get the best 100% Rye Whiskey in you guys hands, p.s. the Bottle is super beautiful!
Have you guys tried the only Irish Rye whiskey I can find, kilbeggan small batch Rye. I haven’t tasted it yet myself.
I would like to try that myself. Only 30% rye in the mashbill, so not like an American straight rye. Maybe more Canadian?
God, I love your guys reviews, lol.
Are there any notable non-MGP distilleries in Indiana?
Love tin cup whiskey. It's a great whiskey for under $30

If you want Black Licorice/Anise try Old Elk Straight rye....good stuff.
i know ou batch fil these but gosh darn it I want to see newly filmed episodes with the skullet.
My kids have me so stressed I'm taking straight shots of my ardbeg.
Michael O what are the kids drinking??
Hi guys, is there anything from MGP you don’t like, I haven’t found anything yet :-)
but is it better than Bulleit Rye? That's my standard.
That awkward silence was hilarious.
How many times does MGP rye need to be reviewed? ......It's always good.
I have never found Anis in rye and it's a flavor I love and seek out.
Unless something has changed, Tincup is distilled in Indiana, just bottled in CO at Stranahan's
All Rex videos are now divided into pre and post-skullett.
You guys are friggin hilarious and the videos just keep getting better with time. Keep up the great work!

Anyone have any suggestions for a non-MGP Rye?
Anything from Canada. 😉
@@GrizzAxxemann There's very little rye in most Canadian 'ryes'. In fact, I understand that legally it can be called 'rye' without actually containing any rye at all.

+1 | Branding value is worth the cost.
Bad beancounter. You're saving a penny to lose a dollar.
cr4zyj4ck i said the branding value is undeniable, meaning it wouldn’t make sense to lose the cup. You’re a bad reader
cr4zyj4ck also it’s not an accountant’s job to figure out how to make money by marketing, our job is to find ways to cut expenses
Got same metal shot glasses from my Stranahan’s. I have 3 of them and will happily accumulate more!!! Great marketing. !!!!!!!
