That Boutique-y Whisky Company Tin Shed Distilling Co 3 Year Old Batch 1 Single Malt Whisky (50cl, 48%)

A 3 year old Australian single malt from Tin Shed Distilling Co, bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company at 48% ABV in a 500ml bottle. This is Batch 1, with 487 bottles. The whisky was first matured in two small ex-tawny port casks, then moved to an ex-Pinot Gris cask, a route not often seen in whisky making. The label shows Tin Shed founder Ian 'Schmiddy' Schmidt in front of his vine-covered warehouse, with a flagpole nodding to his earlier job as a flagpole salesman. The nose offers cherry Bakewell tarts, dried apricots and Battenberg cake. The palate is chewy and thick, with red berries and toasted malt.
