(Bottle) Amber colour with frothy, tan head. Malty nose with dried fruit, fruit cake, dried apricots, oak wood, butterscotch, pears and spices. Malty, sweetish taste with notes of butterscotch, caramel, oak wood, fruit cake, dried apricots, pears and a touch of nutmeg. Low bitterness. Medium body, quite sweet. On the sweet side, but tasty and fairly well balanced. Quite nice.

Single 330ml brown bottle in a Christmas pack with 3 of their original barrel-aged beer and a goblet. Aromas are getting close to diacetyl with the butterscotch-butter, but not quite as bad. Mild banana notes and light hops comes and saves this a little. The taste is thankfully not as sweet. The regular I&G caramel touch with the hops giving this a nice light dryness in the end. Hints of wood cask, but not getting much of the whiskey. Thinner mouthfeel than I expected. Clean amber colour with a warm creamy-thin head that leaves good creamy lacing. Nice to try once, especially on New Years Day.

Bottle 33 cl. Comes as Innis & Gunn The Original Quarter Cask Edition, not sure why the admins decided on this lazy version of the name. Pours a clear golden with an off-white head. Extremely buttery nose - loaded with diacetyl. Medium body, again toffee and butter wth a subtle oaky touch. but the diacetyl goes on and on....Jesus how embarrassing. 301120
