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.

Bouteille 330ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. Nez boisé (fût de chêne), d’alcool (rhum), fruité (citron, notes de prunes rouges et de raisins verts), malté de caramel sucré avec des notes acides (acétique). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture légèrement crémeuse mais aux notes aqueuses. Moyen-léger goût fruité (agrumes surtout citron doux, notes de raisins verts, traces de prunes) accompagné de notes acétiques et d’un goût boisé asséchant (fût de chêne, présent en arrière-goût durant toute la gorgée) et d’un léger goût de vanille lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt sucrés et aux notes rôties ainsi qu’un léger goût de caramel toffee terreux. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un moyen goût d’alcool (à saveur de rhum) très légèrement réchauffant jusqu’en finale avec quelques traces de cannelle. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, léger-moyen amer d’alcool doux (rhum sucré) avec un goût de fût de chêne et des notes de fruits aux petites notes aigres (zest de citron).

Medium offwhite head. Perfect deep amber body. Light, delicate peppery vanilla aroma with floral metallic notes. Dry-acidic floral vinegary taste with metallic notes. Mid-bodied. Mild mouthfeel. Dry floral vinegary earthy afertaste. Very nice and highly interesting. A unique beer. (Taster at Dr. Jekyll’s, Oslo.)
