Indulge in a masterpiece of patience and craft with this exquisite Barrel Aged Barley Wine, meticulously aged for over three years in premium Islay whisky barrels.
Our 2024 release unveils a complex tapestry of flavours, beginning with the evocative smokiness of Islay peat that lends an intense and captivating aroma. Beneath this, layers of rich, bready malt unfold, interwoven with nuanced notes of roasted nuts and a delicate whisper of green apple brightness. A gentle wave of soft vanilla emerges mid-palate, enhancing the sumptuous depth before giving way to a refined, dry finish characterised by earthy undertones and the enduring elegance of oak.
This is more than a beer; it’s a journey for the senses.
