Tinner Bros Blood Orange Whisky Liqueur
Tinner Bros is a surprising new liqueur brand from Cornwall, created by Tarquin Leadbetter – the master distiller behind the well-known Tarquin's Gin. Blood Orange combines smooth bourbon whisky with the fresh, slightly bitter touch of blood orange to create a citrus-rich, refreshing liqueur.

Why I chose this
Blood Orange is the fresh one of the Tinner Bros family, with a lightly bitter orange note that keeps the bourbon lively. I picture it on a summer terrace, over ice or lengthened with tonic. An easy bottle for anyone who wants to try whisky in a lighter guise.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make a long drink with Tinner Bros Blood Orange?
Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in one part Blood Orange and top up with two to three parts cold tonic. Garnish with a slice of orange. The citrus and the slight bitterness of the tonic suit the smooth bourbon base well. Neat over ice works too, of course.
Why isn't Tinner Bros Blood Orange on the Flavour Compass?
Because it is a whisky liqueur, not a whisky. The M4W Flavour Compass is designed for whiskies; this liqueur is 22% ABV and flavoured with blood orange. If you still want to place it: it is fresh, citrus-rich and lightly sweet, with a smooth bourbon base.
How long does an opened bottle of Tinner Bros Blood Orange keep?
A long time, if you store it somewhere cool, dark and tightly closed. Thanks to the alcohol the liqueur won't spoil quickly, but the fresh citrus aromas become less vivid over time. So ideally finish an opened bottle within a few months and follow any guidance on the label.
