Innis & Gunn Releases New Barrel-Aged Vintage Ale

Edinburgh, Scotland – Innis & Gunn, the award-winning independent brewer of oak-aged beers, is releasing a new and limited-release beer in the US.

Innis & Gunn Vintage is a 7.7% ABV ale that was brewed in 2015 and aged in first-fill American bourbon barrels for 100 days before being packaged in 25-ounce bottles.

Vintage was bottled with live yeast for natural carbonation and to replicate the flavors and conditioning methods of cask-style beers. The bottle conditioning also allows the beer’s flavor to mature and further develop in the bottle.

Vintage was brewed with additions of crystal malt, roasted barley and Styrian Goldings hops. The beer sports a dark amber/brown color with red highlights and features flavors of caramel, coconut, cocoa, marmalade and almonds backed with notes of bourbon.
