Hinch 18 Year Old, Chateau De La Ligne Grande Reserve Finish

Hinch Whiskeys are inspired by the distilling traditions and skills exchanged over the centuries during the ebb and flow of Gaelic peoples across the Irish Sea. Informed by the past but looking to the future they create Irish Whiskeys that are reassuringly smooth yet distinctively richer and bolder in character.

The Whiskey:
Casks containing Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the Château were emptied and refilled with fine Irish single malt whiskey that has spent 18 years maturing in Kentucky bourbon barrels. A further six months finishing period has added rich new flavours of summer berries, sultanas and dark chocolate with a long and smooth finish.

One of only 650 bottles.

The Wine:
Château de la Ligne is one of the latter-day Winegeese wines that have Irish origins. The term Winegeese has arisen out of the stories of the Wild Geese or Irish who left Ireland in the 17th century and ended up in the wine trade around the world, but most particularly in Bordeaux. Ulsterman, Terry Cross, purchased Château de la Ligne in Bordeaux on St. Patrick's Day 2000 and set in motion the renaissance of this noble wine. Their Grand Reserve Cuvée has been handpicked from their finest selection of vines and aged in French Oak barrels creating a delicious medium-bodied, smooth tasting elegant wine.
