Hinch 5 Year Double Wood

Sample from the Summerton Virtual Whisky Festival. Not much on the nose, but the initial taste is significantly creamier than I would have expected from a 5-year-old. There are some pleasant vanilla and apricot flavors against a spicy, oaky backdrop. There's also a somewhat unusual gin hint in this one. Not strong, but present. Overall, it's quite good. I would certainly try other bottles in their range and it'll be interesting to see its development over time.

What a fantastic value find in this whiskey. Smooth, easy to drink, and holds its own against some much more well-known and expensive options out there! Keep this one, share it with your friends and have them guess the price, they'll be astonished.

Excellent! The nose offers many light floral notes, while the palate presents light tropical fruit and pronounced wood characteristics. The finish is not lengthy, but it's a wonderfully robust, heavily wooded whiskey considering the price!

Nose: light, citrus. Palate: light, pepper, peppermint?, burnt sugar. Finish: long, pepper, oak, bitterness, burnt sugar.

A smooth blend with a vanilla aroma and spice, but a short finish. Easy to drink, but not an exceptional whisky.

Honeyed stone fruit and vanilla are present, along with some spice and wood. It has a medium finish.
