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.3 which is part of a five bottle Gold Label series to date. It’s a rare cask-strength whisky aged for just under 3 years in an American oak, port cask and is now a museum expression (discontinued) at the distillery that has had much thought and care given to its evolution.

In the words of Ian Schmidt;
“Having been previously frustrated by our spirit’s ability to absorb peat smoke, we smoked the barley in the barrel so much that we feared we may have overdone it, consequently we have watched the journey of this particular spirit with intense interest. At 3 months of age it was all smoke, at 6 months, smoke with some honey; at 12 months, more honey, at 18 months it was like licking a spoon full of honey with a hint of smoke in the background. At 2 years it had transformed completely and tasted very ordinary, a confused mix of flavours that was totally out of balance. Now, 3 months short of its 3rd birthday it has changed again and is one of the most interesting, best balanced and challenging whiskies we have produced”
