Cameron’s Very Special Pale Ale (VSPA) Cognac Barrel Aged is a unique, first time creation for the Brewery. It is 7.7% ABV and is offered in a 750ml bottle. Cameron’s VSPA is aged for six months in French cognac barrels. VSPA delivers a delicate fruity pear character, with an oaky flavor derived from long aging in toasted barrels. Cameron’s version of the pale ale style is brewed with warm fermentation with predominantly a British malt blend that is well balanced with specialty imported hops. Cognac is a variety of brandy that must meet strict legal production requirements to carry the name. The brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and be aged at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais. Cognac matures in the same way as whiskies and wine when aged in barrels, and most cognacs are aged considerably longer than the minimum legal requirement. The resulting flavor that resides in the oak barrels has contributed to Cameron’s VSPA Cognac Barrel Aged’s spectacular taste. Best served at 13 -15 C in a tapered glass such as a snifter.
