The Hinch Distillery is based at Ballynahinch in Co. Down Northern Ireland. It was founded in 2016 by entrepreneur Dr Terry Cross OBE. The first distiller was Aaron Flaherty who learned his trade at Diageo distilleries in Scotland and Bushmills.
The whiskey has a rich, velvety texture that coats the mouth with flavours of roasted malt, espresso, and caramel. The stout influence is particularly pronounced, with notes of dark chocolate and liquorice adding a bittersweet complexity to the whiskey. The hop character of the beer cask is also present, with a pleasant bitterness that balances the sweetness of the malt. There's a subtle fruitiness that emerges, with hints of dried apricot.
