Hinch Peated Single Malt
I recently
bought a bottle of this little lovely. I
did not know anything about Hinch being new to Irish single malts but
continuing to be impressed and this is no disappointment. Although it is Peaty, it is more subtle than
some of the Scottish equivalents, with a pleasant smoky odour and a slightly
nutty after taste.
Hinch says
this about this Whisky: -
PEATED SINGLE MALT
Sweet tar and a smoky, woodish nose with immediate strong
peat flavours on the palate. Lingering and nuanced fruit undertones survive the
peat storm. A hint of liquorice comes through on the palate as the peat gently
mellows awaiting your next sip.
Masters of Malt have this to say about the tasting: -
Nose: Caramelised oak, woody cinnamon, and
honey-roasted ham, with a crack of rock salt all backed up by a wave of peat
smoke.
Palate: Smoked nuts and barbecued meats, charred
herbs, and fresh fruit sweetness, with building chilli spice.
Finish: Charred chilli pepper and bonfire smoke.
