NOTE: Marked batch 009 on the bottle label. Matured in an Ardbeg cask although this is not detailed on the label.
This Imperial Stout has been matured in specially selected Islay Malt Whisky casks. This aging process infuses into the beer all the threatening smoke, the encapsulating peat, the Atlantic essence and raw power of Scotland's most distinctive Whiskies.

"Dark brown with a low beige head. Tarry, salty, woody and smokey whiskey aroma with touches of burnt malts, nuts and licorice. Nearly full-bodied with strong notes of smoked wood, tar, salt and licorice. Long tarry finish with notes of wood, iodine, anise and smoke. "
