BELFAST, Northern Ireland<\/span>, July 13, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Northern Ireland’s<\/span> newest distillery, Hinch, has beckoned a prestigious Gold Medal awarded for its Imperial Stout Finish Irish Whiskey, one of three whiskeys in their Craft & Casks range. <\/p>\n

Hinch Distillery wins gold at IWSC<\/span> <\/div>\n

The accolade, awarded by the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), London<\/span>, saw the Whiskey receive 95 points from a potential 100, one of the highest scores ever given to an Irish whiskey finished in ex craft beer casks. <\/p>\n

IWSC 2021 was the competition’s largest ever event and saw 80 experts judge over 4,000 spirits.<\/p>\n

Hinch Distillery’s Craft & Casks range is a trio of fine Irish whiskeys that up the flavour game in the segment having been finished using craft beer casks from Whitewater Brewing in Northern Ireland<\/span> and Kinnegar Brewery in Co Donegal<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The range consists of three whiskeys; the Imperial Stout Finish, Irish Red Rye Finish and Rye Export Stout Finish, which have been disrupting the taste profile of the whiskey scene since they launched earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The Craft & Casks range offers a distinctly flavoured beer barrel aged whiskey which is an emerging trend in the industry and while Hinch is a relatively new name to the drinks’ fraternity, it has quickly risen to a par with the best around, beckoning prestigious awards in its two years of operation. <\/p>\n

The IWSC Award is testament to its stature and is awarded on the back of large distribution deals the business has secured with firms in Mainland<\/span> China<\/span>, China<\/span><\/span> Hong Kong<\/span>, China<\/span><\/span> Taiwan<\/span>, Australia<\/span>, New Zealand<\/span>, the US, France<\/span>, Germany<\/span>, Poland<\/span> and Russia<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Judges said: "Hops, buttered teacake and floral freshness make a great start to this rich and indulgent journey through creamy butterscotch, candied orange, juicy sultanas, cinnamon and gingerbread. The alcohol is so well-integrated as to be barely perceptible."<\/p>\n

Hinch Chairman Dr Terry Cross OBE, who recently opened his distillery and restaurant to the public at the end of May said: "Despite not being able to open our public offering fully at the distillery for over a year, we have continued to develop our offering, expand our portfolio and win major deals in the shadows of what has been a very challenging economic climate. We are delighted to receive a Gold Medal for our Craft & Casks Imperial Stout Finish."<\/p>\n

The distillery now offers tours of its whiskey making process, as well as gin tours. Visit https:\/\/www.hinchdistillery.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n
