A celebration of malt, oak, and patience, Very Special Old [Straight] Jacket is a cuvée of English Barleywines aged between two and four years in our favorite bourbon barrels. Lusciously sweet and colossally complex, V.S.O.J. is equal parts refinement and excess. Enjoy now or store cold.

Can. Hazy brown color with beige head. Aroma is super intense caramel, vanilla, raisins. Taste is caramel, vanilla, so thick and intense. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Bourbon juice, man.

Can thanks to Russell. Pours black with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong oak, vanilla, bourbon, tobacco, dark fruit. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice smoke on the finish, very sweet, enjoyed this.

Can shared by Adam, thanks! Pours a clear deep caramel amber with a near white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma is full of bourbon and sweet grains with a bit of caramel and toffee supporting. Flavor has sweet grains and lots of bourbon with a good amount of caramel and a toffee bite.
