Nostalgia and Celebration in a bottle. Raise a glass to the art of barrel ageing with this rich, complex imperial scotch ale aged in Speyside barrels. Smoke, stone fruit, and caramel blend together on the palate with a warming hum of whisky.

Bottle shared by Dutchdrebus. Brown color with a dark red-brown colored head, virtually no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sweetish notes with some raisins maybe, candy sugar and a bit boozy. Quite good.
