Barrelaged Barleywine || 9,5% Barreleye is a classic barleywine characterised by a rich malty sweetness and an expressive hoppiness. We barrel-aged it for about 6 months in a 2nd use Auchentoshan barrel, to give it its deep oaked character and some lingering hints of the whiskey.

Bottle. Dark amber color. Apricot, a hint of caramel and cinnamon in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with licorice, cinnamon and caramel. Oak, shyish whisky flavor. Earthy hops. Not perfect, but fairly complex.

Classic and traditional style barleywine for sure: pretty sweet, caramelly. Barrel ageing gave it some wood and some (caramelly and sweet..) whisky. Needs something to make a splash, and some bitterness. Tasty but so very boring.

Bottle. Color: Clear copper, beige head. Aroma: Dark dried fruit, caramel, Auchentoshan Whiskey. Taste: Dark dried fruit, some caramel, licorice and clearly present, maybe even a bit overwhelming Auchentoshan Whiskey barrel ageing. Hints of nuts, almond, plum, grain, sugar and citrus fruit. Notes of wood. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Moderate to medium sweetness, moderate bitterness, going towards medium at finish. Medium to over medium body, below average carbonation. Pretty complex and pretty nice, although not one of my top favorites of barrel aged Barleywines.
