Iniquity Gold Batch 007 Single Malt

Iniquity whisky comes from Tin Shed Distilling Company in Australia. I received these samples from the distillery:

Iniquity Single Malt Whisky Gold Batch 007
Iniquity Den’s Dram Single Malt Lazy Daze, 40% ABV
Iniquity Single Malt Whisky Flustercluck Australian Peat, 49.1% ABV
Iniquity Single Malt Whisky Batch 23 Silver Label, 46% ABV

At the moment they are thinking of expanding their market to Europe, so I felt very excited to taste their expressions.

This one’s called Iniquity Gold Batch 007 and it’s a 5 year old single malt. Matured in a single 225 liter, American Oak Port cask that has been teaspooned with both, a Shiraz cask whisky and a peated cask whisky of the same age.

Very quick notes

For experienced drinkers for sure. I really fell in love with their peated Flustercluck but I can easily see some sweet sherried whisky drinkers falling for this one.

Matured in:

Ex-Port American Oak cask

ABV: 56%

Non-chill filtered

Colour: Dark amber

Nose: Nice thick toffee with hints of warming spices start the show. Drops of water brings green apples and hints of mint.

Taste: Berries and grapes. Addition of water tones it down a bit. Orange peel and red oranges.

Finish: Acid yet thick stuff. Sprinkling sherry with nutmeg.

Balance: Big character, with lots of notes to offer. Make sure to add water and take your time with this one.
