Tinner Bros Wild Cherry Whisky Liqueur
Tinner Bros is a surprising liqueur brand from Cornwall, created by Tarquin Leadbetter — the master distiller behind the well-known Tarquin's Gin. The story is inspired by two 19th-century Cornish mining brothers who mined tin by day and secretly distilled whisky by night. Wild Cherry combines smooth bourbon with ripe black cherries and dark fruit to create a creamy, seductive liqueur.

Why I chose this
Tinner Bros isn't whisky but a whisky liqueur, and I'm happy to be upfront about that. Wild Cherry is creamy and full of black cherry, a bottle I reach for with coffee or poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For anyone who wants to keep things convivial without a heavy dram.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between whisky liqueur and whisky?
Whisky liqueur uses whisky as its base, bourbon in this case, and adds sugar and flavourings such as black cherry. The strength is lower: 22% versus at least 40% for whisky. Whisky itself may not be sweetened or flavoured, which is why this liqueur sits outside our Flavour Compass.
Who makes Tinner Bros?
Tarquin Leadbetter, the master distiller behind Tarquin's Gin in Cornwall. The brand is inspired by two nineteenth-century Cornish mining brothers who dug tin by day and secretly distilled whisky by night. Wild Cherry combines smooth bourbon with ripe black cherries.
How do you serve Tinner Bros Wild Cherry?
Simply on the rocks, over vanilla ice cream or as the base for a twist on the espresso martini. At 22% and with its creamy, fruity flavour, it is light and approachable. It comes in a 70 cl bottle, enough for plenty of convivial evenings.
