Innis & Gunn Islay Cask
$19.99
Producer's notes:
For this year’s release, we have taken Laphroaig First Fill Casks in which we have slowly matured an Innis & Gunn beer, we've then finished the beer in Laphroaig Port Casks. Absorbing all the deep flavours from the oak – spicy woodsmoke and peat – the beer adds its own rich, roasted flavour. The end result is something as unforgettable as the island and the whisky that inspires it.
Islay Whisky Cask is a 7.4% Scottish Red Ale, slowly matured in Laphroaig single malt first fill scotch whisky and finished in port casks – from one of the most renowned malt whiskies in the world
