Frequently Asked Questions
Can you drink Tinner Bros Black Spiced warm?
Yes, a splash in hot chocolate or coffee is well worth it in the winter months. Only add the liqueur once the drink is off the heat, so the vanilla and spice aromas are preserved. Neat on the rocks or alongside a spiced biscuit works well too.
Where does the name Tinner Bros come from?
A tinner is a tin miner. The brand refers to two nineteenth-century Cornish brothers who worked in the tin mines by day and secretly distilled whisky by night. Tarquin Leadbetter, known for Tarquin's Gin, now makes the liqueurs in Cornwall.
Which Tinner Bros should you choose if you like spice?
Then Black Spiced is the right choice: dark bourbon with warm vanilla and spiced honey. Wild Cherry is fruitier, Blood Orange fresher with citrus and Toffee Nut sweeter and nuttier. All four are 22% ABV with a bourbon base.
