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.

2/3/2019. Bottle from the Wine Boutique, Felixstowe. Poured dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of toffee, malt, liquorice, biscuit and black treacle. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Full-bodied, sticky texture, soft carbonation. Sweet syrupy finish with warming alcohol developing.

Bottle from Pezinská pivná pumpa Yummy. Nice reward for winter shoveling. Hints of brandy, light smoked notes and roasted malts accompanied by noble yeast. Great.
