Voor de nieuwe Barrel Project heeft Kees gekozen voor vaten van Bowmore. Dit was de eerste distilleerderij van Islay en zij hebben destijds dan ook meteen de smaak neergezet die je nu bij alle whiskys uit deze streek vindt. Flink wat peated tonen dus, die tonen zijn na 26 maanden vatrijping ook in de Barley Wine getrokken om een mooi gelaagd bier te maken.

Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Hazy dark brown, thin, tan head. Intense peat, apothecary, green apple, stewed plum, dates, dried fig, tobacco, charred wood, bunt brown sugar, whisky. Taste has sweet date, fig & green apple in a toffee-like, brown-sugary malt body covered with notes of peat, green apple and something meaty-umami. Herbal hops in the finish, lingering dried fruits, quite medicinal, touch of wood and boozy peated whisky alcohol. Full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Very rough and intense, but enough complexity to enjoy.

Bottleshare at Chez Frog. Thanks to me for the can. Almost clear deep amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light and smooth palate, good fine carbonation. Rich caramel and toffee malts. A mild creamy sweetness. Good savoury whiskey, the peat is there but mercifully free of rubber. Some alcohol spice on the smooth semi dry finish.
