Tin Shed Distilling Company Pty Ltd is based out of Welland in South Australia and is a new producer on the Australian Whisky scene made up of a partnership of like-minded and experienced distillers who share a dream of producing quality whisky from local South Australian ingredients. Operated by Ian Schmidt and Victor Orlow, they commenced distilling in the middle of 2013 and ‘INIQUITY’ was born.
Tin Shed Distilling was previously known as Southern Coast Distillers which was a highly acclaimed yet short lived venture that closed its doors in December 2012, but it seems both Mr Schmidt and Mr Orlow couldn’t resist the lure of the still, reinventing themselves and their whisky, hence the double-headed Phoenix on the new Iniquity label rising from the ashes. The Phoenix also resembles the Piping Shrike, which appears on the flag of South Australia proclaiming South Australia’s rich heritage and the difficult journey travelled in realising their whisky dream. One head looks back to the distilling traditions of the past whilst the other looks to the future.
