Our flagship beer, the one that started it all. Our unique bourbon barrel ageing process brings flavours like vanilla and toffee and we've combined this with the malty character of our Scotch Ale to create an incredible taste experience.
We brew The Original using our unique barrel into beer method, turning the traditional beer into barrel process on its head without losing any of the wonderful flavours and aromas from the barrel.

Pours light amber with a thick white head. Aroma of caramel malt with oaky notes. Taste has light malt notes with heavy bourbon elements. Palate has oily whiskey mash elements. Not bad.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Woody, oaky and slightly fruity aroma, hints of yellow and red berries, a leafy touch of corresponding shrubs. Taste is slightly dry, woody, oaky, minimally sweet, caramel malty, a cautious Bourbon touch, fruity hoppy hints of yellow and red berries, leafy overtones. OK.

Watery Scotch water. Nice toffee notes and a nice 6.6abv but still mostly water and some off bitter notes mingled in-between. Malty nose and a vanilla finish at least.
