Iniquity Gold Label Batch 007 Australian Malt Whisky
South Australia's Tin Shed distillery have been flying under the raidar for a number of years now, but the word is quickly spreading! Their pursuit of producing the best spirit possible is reflected in what they bottle!
The Iniquity Gold Series single malt whiskies from Tin Shed Distillery are quite simply bottlings of their star whiskies. Generally single casks bottled at cask strength. The Batch No 007 is a massive whisky, with plenty of rich fruit and caramel notes balanced tremendously well with just a touch of peat.

Tasting Notes
Nose
This is a gorgeous nose that makes you want to climb in the glass with the whisky. There is a lot going on here with notes of toffee, treacle, maple syrup, molasses, dried stone fruits, ginger snaps, pine needles, that mint Aero chocolate bar, sandalwood, gummy bears and cream sherry.
Palate
There is a healthy alcohol tongue tingle and once again, warmth without heat. The silky smooth mouth feel is a sensual pleasure followed by flavours of burnt caramel, burnt apricot or fig jam, Jaffas, more rich caramel and toffee.
Finish
Hazelnuts and roasted chestnuts, but in truth this whisky is so well integrated that picking out individual flavours is challenging in a finish that lingers and evolves in a kaleidoscope of sensations that leaves you wanting more, and more, and more...
