Nose: Shellac and floor wax, woody herbs, toasted nuttiness, more herbal notes (thyme, wintergreen and mint), with dried apricots and dry sherry. Some meadow flowers, talcum powder and tobacco leaf. More roasted/charred nuts. Some sour leather.

Palate: Big honey, sour fruit, then herbal with some resin (vine sap), slightly astringent leafy tannins in the back palate.

Finish: Honey and dried apricots, leafy tannins, some aromatic bitters, long and warming, the leafiness persists.

Comment: Lovely colour, autumn brown with auburn and orange highlights. Good balanced package, drier than usual.

Every step of the process we employ is hands on; from milling the malt, stirring the mash, making the cut and moving the barrels, to judging which casks to use, bottling, labelling and shipping bottles of INIQUITY to our clients and friends.

Our focus is always on flavour rather than efficiency. We use local grain, local peat and local Mallee stumps to smoke it. We do not chill-filter our whiskies, so it is quite common to see some flocculation in the bottle (give it a good shake and it will dissolve again).

Our coopers are South Australian and source the best oak for our casks.

We aim to produce a masterpiece each time; a whisky that will entice, tease and satisfy the most discerning palate and deliver enjoyment with every sip.

The Company
Tin Shed Distilling Company Pty Ltd is a partnership of like-minded and experienced distillers who share a dream of producing quality whisky from local South Australian ingredients. The company commenced distilling in the middle of 2013 and 'INIQUITY' was born.

The Brand
‘INIQUITY’... sinful, immoral, or wicked. An appropriate name really, because anything this good is usually illegal, sinful... or just plain fattening! We say, reward yourself with a dram of liquid sunshine at the end of a hard day... or just because you deserve one of life’s wicked pleasures.

The Bird
While it looks a lot like a double-headed Phoenix, an ancient mythical bird, it also resembles the Piping Shrike, which appears on the flag of South Australia. Sitting, as it does, on a strand of barbed wire, our bird proclaims our South Australian heritage and the difficult journey travelled in realising our dream. One head looks back to the distilling traditions of the past and the other looks to the future and our philosophy.
