Stranahan's did get its start in Colorado, but today it's owned by Proximo Spirits, a New Jersey/New York-based liquor importer that also owns 1800 Tequila, Three Olives Vodka, Kraken Rum....and now Tincup.

Says Ben:
It's a shame that it is marketed deceitfully. I feel like I was tricked into thinking I was buying a Colorado-made product. Although it doesn't explicitly say "made in Colorado," it certainly has been designed to imply it. They will not get another dime of my money.Have you tried Tincup? Did you think you were buying a Colorado-made product? What's your favorite spirit actually distilled in this state?
