HINCH DISTILLERY LAUNCHES UNIQUE WHISKEY CASK RELEASE
The launch of the An Chead Dún cask programme coincides with Hinch Distillery's recent opening of the distillery and a new visitor destination which will target domestic and incoming tourism.
The unique cask release contains the distillery's first ever distillation of Irish Single Malt spirit, using traditional Irish distilling methods combined with Hinch's bespoke distilling techniques. Each cask owner will receive a unique package which includes, amongst other benefits, a very rare bottle of Hinch 18 Year Old Single Malt, a small memento bottle of the original spirit. All bottling costs and labels are included and offer an element of personal messaging.
An Chead Dún, which translates from Gaelic as 'The First Down', is the first single malt spirit and ultimately whiskey, released directly from the Hinch Distillery. Speaking about the unique distillate, Hinch Distillery Chairman Dr Terry Cross OBE, said: "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. Cask owners can expect fuller, bolder and more intense flavours from our An Chead Dún spirit. For me, it's all about creating Irish whiskey with as much strong and individual character as possible."
