Official tasting notes.
Nose: Port notes are immediately obvious with dark plum and some polished wood but this is just the start of a deep and meaningful conversation!
Palate: Initially there is muscovado sugar followed by toffee, high cocoa chocolate and citrus (orange). The balance swings from salt to sweet and back again, finishing up rather nicely in the middle.
Finish: a reasonably long finish with lime and citrus that evolve into candy notes.
Comment: This is a big, rich and voluptuous whisky. Once you have the hang of this dram, add some water and start all over again. It is a case of two different whiskies in the one glass!

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.5 which is part of a five bottle Gold Label series to date. It’s a rare cask-strength whisky aged for 6 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;
This is our oldest release to date and six Adelaide summers under a hot tin roof means the Angels have had more than their fair share, but they have left a wonderfully complex and stimulating malt with some serious horsepower under the bonnet.
Give this whisky time in the glass and the respect you would a 35 year old Scottish malt and you will be rewarded”
This work of whisky art is our only bottle to sell.
