The Legendary Tinner Brothers Whiskey Liqueur Arrives in Japan

In an exciting development for whiskey enthusiasts, Tinner Brothers, a unique whiskey liqueur from Cornwall, England, is set to hit the Japanese market on October 20, 2025. Distributed by the S.C.T. Ltd., Tinner Brothers is available in four distinct flavors, each bottled at 700ml for a reasonably priced retail value of 3,960 yen, tax included. The liqueur, a modern interpretation of a legendary 19th-century recipe, marries flavors perfect for cocktails and desserts alike.

A Rich History of Rebellion and Craftsmanship

The narrative of Tinner Brothers begins in the tumultuous landscapes of Cornwall's tin mines in the 19th century. Here, two brothers defied the crown's tax through clandestine moonshining. By day, they toiled in the mines, and by night they crafted a unique creation known as “Black Whiskey.” This dream was abruptly halted one fateful night when an explosion claimed their lives, leaving behind only whispers of their legendary recipe.

Fast forward to 2025, where the brilliant distiller, Takwin Reedbetter, has resurrected this historic craft, channeling Cornwall's rebellious spirit into a modern liqueur that pays homage to its rich heritage.

Flavor Profiles to Elevate Your Experience

The Tinner Brothers liqueur comes in four expertly crafted flavors:

1. Blood Orange: This liqueur opens with a juicy citrus aroma that transitions into a bright and tangy flavor, finishing with hints of caramel. (22% ABV)
2. Toffee Nuts: Rich caramel meets nutty sweetness, leaving a warm bourbon finish that lingers beautifully. (22% ABV)
3. Black Spice: A deep blend of spices, harmonized with honey's sweetness, offers a dark and exotic aftertaste. (22% ABV)
4. Wild Cherry: Tart cherry flavor foregrounded with subtle bourbon sweetness creates a deliciously fruity finish. (22% ABV)

As the popularity of flavored whiskeys surges in Japan, driven by a boom in highballs, the arrival of Tinner Brothers could not be better timed. With its lower alcohol content of 22% ABV, it aligns perfectly with the trends of health-conscious consumption and cocktail innovation. Just a splash of Tinner Brothers can elevate a basic highball into a refreshing citrus experience or add depth with its spiced notes, ensuring its place in bars and homes across Japan.

The versatility of these liqueurs also extends to desserts, where they can seamlessly enhance cakes and ice cream, providing an explosion of flavor.

Meet the Visionary Behind Tinner Brothers

Takwin Reedbetter, the founder and master distiller of Tinner Brothers, transitioned from a chef trained at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in France to a self-taught distiller. His culinary background has significantly influenced his craft, ensuring that each liqueur offers a sensory experience akin to savoring a well-prepared dish. Based in Cornwall, Reedbetter's innovative endeavors range from crafting award-winning gins to reviving this historic whiskey legacy.

The distillation process at the Southwestern Distillery starts with a base whiskey aged for about three years in American white oak barrels. This whiskey is expertly refined with pure water to adjust the alcohol content to 22% ABV before enhancing it with natural flavorings. The liqueur then undergoes additional aging in neutral containers for several weeks to bring out the best flavors, making it perfectly suited to the refined tastes of Japanese consumers.
