Victor Hingston: Single Malt Whisky (Barrel #12)

NEWCASTLE’S FIRST SINGLE MALT WHISKY.

Aroma: Subtle and smooth with hints of oak, smoke and toffee.

Taste: Young peaches, fresh strawberries, with the toffee sweetness and a hit of smoke on the finish.

Listen up, folks, as I weave you a tale under the warm glow of dimmed lights and the hush of a speakeasy's secrets. This here is the legend of Victor Hingston, Newcastle's inaugural single malt whisky.

Let me introduce you to a name that carries more than just letters. It's a nod to those who lit up our lives – a grandfather, a comrade, a guiding star – Victor Hingston Moy. It's a libation that's more than liquid; it's a legacy.

This whisky, my friends, it's a flirtation with peat, a dance between flavours that will have you leaning in for more. Crafted with a tender hand, it's born from rainwater's tender caress and a symphony of malt. Picture Australian-grown Voyager Craft Malt meeting a smoky character all the way from bonnie Scotland. And as it slumbers in those 100-litre port barrels, nabbed straight from Seppeltsfield in Barossa Valley, South Australia, it matures like a dream.

Now, imagine Newcastle's ever-changing weather – the sun's caress, the rain's embrace. It gives this single malt whisky its very soul, its unique touch.

Lift that glass, and let the scents sweep you away – oak's wisdom, smoke's allure, and toffee's sweet embrace. And as it touches your lips, it's like a stroll through an orchard, where young peaches and fresh strawberries waltz with warm toffee, all rounded off with a sly wink of enchanting smoke.

So here's to Victor Hingston, a whisky that whispers tales as it dances on your tongue, a legacy that lingers long after the glass is empty. Here's to the past, the present, and the tales yet to be told. Cheers, my friends, in this hidden world where stories flow like honeyed nectar.
