Whisky-Online Auctions Tasting Notes: Hinch Cask 003356 60.5%
Nose: Nose: Creamy and Bready. Soft vanilla cream caramel with a touch of meringue make way for fresh wholemeal breads, warm out of the oven with salted butter melting into the crumb. Set custard teases in the background with threatening soft white stone fruits in the wings.
Palate: Zestier with tart du citron and candied lime. A double cream feel with more hints from apricot, white plums and commonwealth biscuits and a cold glass of home made lemonade.
Finish: Pleasant and sustained with soft spices in demerara sugar finally coming to play with those soft fruits.
Comments: A well-executed all-round bourbon whiskey with excellent balance considering its age and ABV. It is absolutely treading in “ready to bottle” territory, more time will potentially mask the pleasant fruity spirit characters with the onslaught of spicey cask influence.
A private bottling is a cask of single malt or single grain whisky that has been bottled privately by its owner or owners, and usually bottles are not released for public sale. Private bottlings may sometimes be bottled for their owners by the distillery of origin, but are not official bottlings by that distillery.
Alternatively, if the cask is not housed at the distillery where it was made, it may be bottled either by another distillery or private cask storage facility, or transported to a third party commercial bottler.
Private bottlings used to be relatively common, a legacy of the whisky lake of the 1980s, when distilleries had excess stock and were desperate to offload their inventory. These kinds of casks rarely make it to private bottlings nowadays - casks that were very inexpensive twenty or thirty years ago have shot up in value, and distilleries have scrambled to buy back privately-owned casks of their own spirit, while cask owners are rarely short of offers from brokers or independent bottlers.
