Bottling Notes

Whisky masters Ian Schmidt and Victor Orlow rarely ever produce cask strength expressions of Iniquity. When they do, it carries a gold label and is called Gold Batch.
This particular release is Gold Batch No.1 which is the revered 1st bottling in the four bottle Gold Label series to date. It’s a rare cask-strength whisky aged for 2 years in a single American oak, port cask and is now a museum expression discontinued that has had much thought and care given to its evolution.

On this release, Ian Schmidt comments……
This cask was no slouch at 46%, but demanded to be bottled at cask strength. It is more challenging and more rewarding at 60% and benefits with warming in the hand. A few drops of water opens up the spirit nicely. Lots of interesting and positive things going on. The higher proof cranks up the red fruits and the chocolate and the ether/aceton
