Scotch Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Our bourbon barrel-aged Wee Heavy, decked out in a fine tartan kilt, delivers expressions of sweet malt and American oak like a furious claymore strike. Pour a wee dram and let the brogue fly. Don’t be daft, enjoy now or store cold.

2025 can from Total Wine. Pours a deep chestnut with a small beige head that dissipates. Lovely aromas of toffee, tobacco, red fruit and bourbon. Palate is very similar, lots of bourbon, vanilla along with the toffee and red fruit. Warming finish, but not overly boozy. Very enjoyable.

12 ounce can from Tavour. Opaque dark brown pour. Brief tan head. Sweet roasted malt aroma hints at bourbon and oak. Added notes of caramel and Tia Maria. Flavor is bittersweet malt, caramel, oak, whiskey, coffee, brown sugar and absinthe. A bit of woodiness as well. Smooth, sticky and super.

12 oz. can. Pours black, with a big, foamy, tan head. The nose is cognac, cherry wood, cloves, cola, caramel, and black bread. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, earthy bitterness. Heavy, grainy, and boozy. Aggressive and interesting.
