The pasteurised beer is sent to the Glenfiddich distillery and used to seal American white oak barrels; and then transferred to a marrying tun where the barrels are blended. The bottled beer is stored for a month before being distributed to shops. The period spent in the barrel, then the marrying tun and then the bottle gives the beer the name "Triple Matured".

Loads of peat and scotch smokiness in the aroma with some fruit and touches of oak snd vanilla. Flavor is more peat, ripefruit, smoke, and vanilla oak. Suet smooth and complex and very easy drinking. Easily the best innis and gunn beer I’ve had.

Bottle split at LKS skyline, thanks to Fergus for this boxed ’R’ offering, 27/05/15. Chestnut brown with moderate beige spotting and edgework. Nose is wooded, caramel, sweet tunes, light cocoa, toffee, watered down bourbon, coconut. Taste comprises watery JD&Coke, caramel, marshmallow, coconut. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok I guess - one of the better I&G offerings I’ve had!

Bottle thanks to Fergus. What a bro! It pours deep red-brown with a small beige head. The nose is sweet, vanilla, coconut, juicy, permanent marker, wood and toffee. The taste is sweet, toffee, toasted coconut, wood, caramel, sticky, brown bread, varnish and a touch of alcohol with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Has aged gracefully. One of the best beers from these guys.

Bottle shared in London - huge thanks to Fergus for digging this out of the cellar. Pours crystal clear ruby with a creamy tan head. The aroma holds rich bread, tangy semi-dark fruits, toasted grain, caramel. Medium sweet flavor with pleasant notes of brown sugar, caramel, bread, ripe berries, figs. Medium bodied, a little chewy, with fine carbonation. Sticky sweet finish with more ripe fruits, berries, figs, sugary bread, faint alcohol warmth, gooey caramel. Quite tasty overall.

33 cl bottle @ Turtola. Rated on 03.09.2010
Vertical with Rum Cask & Original. This one placed last.
Aroma is sweet with toffee, oaky notes, rum and hints of vanilla. Flavour has rather intensive rum and oaky notes. Also some toffee and vanilla. Too strong on oak and rum, not my thing.
