# Multi-Faceted Whiskey Brand Programs TINCUP Whiskey Has Launched the Heart-Warming Project TINPUP By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-06-10 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-tinpup References: [bevnet](https://www.bevnet.com/pr/2025/06/09/calling-all-dog-lovers-tincup-whiskey-unveils-new-tinpup-initiative) & [tincupwhiskey](https://www.tincupwhiskey.com/tinpup/)  [TINCUP Whiskey's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tincup-bourbon) Project TINPUP is a multifaceted initiative that merges outdoor adventure, canine companionship, and philanthropy. The company is partnering with the [National Disaster Search Dog Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engaged-couples), an organization that trains shelter dogs for disaster response, to make its vision a reality. Project TINPUP stems from market research revealing that TINCUP’s core audience, which has been identified as outdoor enthusiasts who are also dog owners, over-indexes in bourbon consumption and charitable giving. To engage this demographic, the whiskey brand is rolling out limited-edition bottles featuring heroic search-and-rescue dogs, alongside a $75,000 donation to the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation. The Project TINPUP campaign extends beyond fundraising and offers practical resources like urban hiking guides for dog owners, eco-conscious trail etiquette tips via Leave No Trace, and a new line of dog gear, including travel bowls and leashes.
