About
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.

330 ml bottle. Pours a copper color with moderate head. Aromas of candied fruit, slightly oaky and fruity rum, and biscuity malts. Flavors of toasted malts, dusty oak, and subtle fruity rum. Not spicy to my palate, but nice, and easy to drink.

Bottle from Sainsbury's online. It pours clear amber with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, toffee, butterscotch, dried fruits, apple crumble, glace cherry, slightly burnt fruit cake, nuttiness, raisin, sultana, marzipan, slightly saline whisky and some white chocolate. The taste is firmly dry, earthy, dry wood, bitter, tannin, fairly pronounced boozy character, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, glace cherry, white chocolate, savoury, saline, walnut and a touch burnt toast with a drying, nutty finish. Medium+ body and average carbonation. Doesn't quite have the depth I had hoped.
