Description
Spearheading the barrel-ageing movement from Scotland, The Original bourbon barrel-aged beer is the one that started Innis & Gunn when Master Brewer Dougal Gunn Sharp founded the brewery in 2003.

Innis & Gunn was contract brewed in Glasgow at Tennent's Wellpark Brewery since 2014. On 15 November 2018 Tennent's announced the brewing contract will be terminated with effect from September 2020. Innis & Gunn responded the following day by saying they plan on opening their own brewery.

The Innis & Gunn Brewery in Perth is our home for innovation and barrel-ageing. With plans to build a new large scale brewery in our hometown of Edinburgh, it will be the first new large brewery to be built in the capital in 150 years.

[Cask at the Hope Tap(JDW), Reading.] An amber pour with a ring of white head; hint of vanilla aroma; smooth and oily in the mouth with a syrupy malt taste; then a drier finish with some vanilla and warming spices.

Cask handpull at Barrel Vault JDW St Pancras. 5.5% abv version. Clear amber version lasting white head. Odd rubber flavour. Some malt some spiced rum on the aroma. Its an odd beer. A we8rd flavour in it somewhere. OK condition and temperature. Fine with odd bits.
