Hinch Peated Small Batch Blend

Irish Whiskey from an undisclosed Distillery

Hinch Distillery was founded by Belfast businessman Terry Cross on his Killaney Estate, just outside Ballynahinch in Co. Down. The distillery officially opened in 2021 and produces Hinch Irish Whiskey and Ninth Wave Irish Gin. We became very interested in Hinch after tasting its cracking new-make at Whiskey Live in 2022. It is distilled by Aaron Flaherty who has worked in Glen Elgin Distillery, Scotland, and with Colum Egan, master distiller at Bushmill's.

This small batch is an 80/20 blend of Irish Single Grain and Irish Peated Single Malt, 3-4 years old and matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. It is non-chill filtered with no added colouring and bottled at 43% abv.
