Exclusive to the Single Malt Whisky Club The Tasman Pinot Finish Cask was distilled in Iron House’s still in Tasmania in August 2017. Initially matured in 100L Portuguese ex-port casks, then to further instil the ‘Iron House Touch’ those casks were disgorged into a 200l Iron House Vineyard French Oak ex-Pinot Noir cask to finish for 8 months. Iron House is a distillery, vineyard and brewery and often the three entwine with whiskies like this one aged in wine casks from the vineyard and barrel aged beers are made in the whisky casks.
Colour: A glorious deep reddy-orange.
Nose: A pleasant leatheriness at first, and a salty-plum note with caramel as well as biscuit spices.
Palate: A very hearty and solid mouthfeel with a nice amount of white pepper spiciness – an initial burst that diminishes quickly to be overtaken by the fruit! Lots of big red fruits – especially cherries. The biscuit spices seen on the nose are still there, but much diminished – the fruit really dominates here.
Finish: A delightfully long and extremely chewy finish. A mild pepper remains around the mouth – almost as a backdrop to the swirls of fruit, caramel and
A delicious whisky in it’s own right (with a seriously chewy finish) – but its made even more interesting when drammed side-by-side with a glass (or two) of the Iron House 2018 Pinot Noir that ‘seasoned’ it. The dark cherry notes and white pepper are – for me – especially notable as being common notes between the two.
