For the 2025 edition, the brewers started with a robust base featuring orange peel and blueberry. And they let this special version mature in bourbon barrels until it took on sublime layers of oaky complexity.
Tasting Notes
Each sip boasts lip-smacking fruitcake tones that collide with dressed-up notes of Terry’s chocolate orange. Ripples of caramel swirl underneath, leading to hints of woody spice and whiskey on a super smooth finish.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of bourbon and blueberries. Light caramel note. Approaching full body. Flavor is dark caramel with bourbon and blueberries. With a little time some orange zest arrives. Very light oak astringency tho the wood is fairly apparent.
