The Hinch 5yo Double Wood HDC The Time Collection is a premium blend of single malt and single grain whiskeys from the esteemed Hinch Distillery Co. This exquisite Irish whiskey is initially aged for 3 to 4 years in first-fill bourbon casks before undergoing a 12-month finishing period in virgin American oak barrels. This meticulous process results in a smooth, creamy whiskey with an ABV of 43%, promising a unique tasting experience reflective of its sophisticated maturation. On the nose, expect a delightful blend of sweet and creamy notes, underscored by intense citrus fruit, zesty lemon peel, and rich vanilla cream. Subtle hints of tobacco and a light woody undertone add depth to the aroma. The palate is equally inviting, presenting a smooth and creamy texture with pronounced spice and mocha notes. Creamy vanilla flavors are complemented by warm cinnamon and oak spice, while mocha notes introduce a subtle bitterness that perfectly balances the sweetness of the fruit flavors. The finish is long and satisfying, dominated by honeyed fresh fruit flavors that linger on the palate, followed by a gentle warmth from the subtle spice. The whiskey's appearance is a golden brown, offering a visual indication of its rich and intense flavor profile. The combination of big spice and mocha notes on the palate, paired with a balanced fruit undercurrent, makes this a bold and innovative contemporary Irish whiskey. Proudly crafted in County Down, the Hinch 5yo Double Wood HDC The Time Collection is a testament to the brand's commitment to excellence. This smooth, sweet whiskey is characterized by notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and oak spice throughout the palate, along with rich vanilla and crème brûlée undertones.
Hinch 5yo Double Wood HDC stands out due to its dual maturation process, where it is aged for 3 to 4 years in first-fill bourbon casks followed by a 12-month finish in virgin American oak barrels. This results in a complex and balanced flavor profile.
The key flavor notes include citrus fruits, creamy vanilla, apricot, peach, spice, and a hint of cinnamon, with a medium-length finish characterized by lingering wood and spices.
The Hinch Distillery Co is proudly located in County Down, Ireland, where they meticulously craft their premium whiskeys.
As a reviewer, I find the Hinch 5yo Double Wood HDC The Time Collection to be an exemplary representation of what contemporary Irish whiskey can achieve. The dual maturation process brings out an exquisite balance of flavors, from the initial sweet and citrusy notes to the rich vanilla cream and subtle mocha bitterness. The finish, with its lingering wood and spice, leaves a lasting impression that is both warm and satisfying. This whiskey is not just a drink; it's an experience.
