Dot 009. Cab. Sauv. grain rye. One to savour, big and bold. This rye based ale has been aged in ex Irish single grain whiskey / ex naps valley cabernet sauvignon casks for over 12 months. 3 types of rye and lots of time result in layers of complex bold infused flavours. Woody sweetness plays off full dark tart fruits/ raisin / fig / soft marzipan with juicy red grape. A sherry like finish is lifted with a light spiced chocolate full bodied and silky mouthfeel.
