Iniquity Flustercluck Too Australian Single Malt Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 50% Age: No Age Statement Country: Australia
The Tin Shed Distillery in Adelaide, South Australia is a place where determination, dedication and an unshakeable belief is starting to pay off. The distillery is all about passion and a spiritual journey. Every step of the process is performed by hand from milling the malt, stirring the mash, making the cut and moving the barrels, to judging which casks to use, bottling, labelling and shipping bottles. The distillery was established in 2013 and has mainly been releasing single cask whisky to this point. Most of the releases are sold out in very short time and become either historic and memorable drams with friends or sit pride of place on a whisky cabinet. The distillery produces three brands of spirit. Iniquity….the whisky, Requiem….the rum and Piotr….the vodka.
The name Flustercluck is a technical term borrowed from the flagpole industry and refers to the fortuitous stuff ups that contributed to this fine whisky. The spirit was mistakenly filled into the cask at a very low 48% ABV. The spirit was made from malt that had been smoked at Peter Crafter’s place at Parawa on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The peated spirit is then placed in two American oak 100 litre barrels which previously held port where it is left to mature for three years before being married for an extra month in a first fill bourbon barrel. Bottled at 50% ABV and it’s non chill filtered.
