Iniquity Batch No.012 Single Malt Australian Whisky (700ml / 46%)
World Whisky Awards 2019 WINNER (Best Australian Whisky “No Age Statement”)
“At Tin Shed, we pride ourselves on producing artisan whiskies that do not disappoint.”
Compared to earlier releases the drying wood notes have been tempered down. If flavours could paint a picture this dram conjures up one of a “Campfire on a riverbank (redgum, mallee root, eucalyptus leaves) with venison or kangaroo in a port and berry jam marinade cooking in the camp oven.”
Tasting Notes
https://iniquity.com.au/products/whisky#batch-012
Nose: Herbal and fruity (figs and prunes), candied ginger, nutty, strong honey with pine needles, toasted almonds, and flax. The mild herbal notes (rosemary, eucalyptus and menthol) hang around. There is a hint of woodsmoke, but it is hidden behind the herbs and honey.
Palate: Rich and unctuous, a rich jammy flavour with some woodsmoke, rosemary and eucalyptus, scorched almonds, cured game meats: sweet and savoury like kangaroo/venison in a port and mixed berry jam marinade with allspice, figs and raisins.
Finish:Herbal honey and slightly medicinal (Allens Throaties), stewed fruits, tiny hint of paperbark, good length.
