Hinch 10 years Sherry Cask Finish

Hinch Distillery, located in the beautiful region of Northern Ireland, is known for its innovative approach to traditional Irish whiskey. The Hinch 10 Years Sherry Cask Finish is a perfect example of their craftsmanship. After aging in ex-bourbon casks, this whiskey undergoes a final maturation in carefully selected oloroso sherry casks. This process creates a deep and complex profile, where sweet fruit notes, spices, and a subtle nuttiness blend harmoniously.

Tasting note

Nose

A rich and inviting aroma with notes of dried figs, raisins, and candied orange peel. Warm spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg intertwine with subtle hints of toasted almonds and dark chocolate. The sherry cask influence provides a beautiful balance between fruity and spicy notes.

Taste

A full-bodied and smooth palate where dried fruit and caramel take center stage. The sweetness of honey and vanilla is perfectly balanced by toasted oak and a hint of dark cocoa. The sherry cask finish adds depth with nuances of walnuts and spicy black pepper.

Finish

Long and warming, with an elegant combination of dried fruit, gentle spices, and a subtle hint of toasted nuts. The wood influence lingers delicately, leaving a light dryness and a silky-smooth, sweet conclusion.
