Vanishing Point 09

« The Vanishing Point is something far in the distance, something always slightly beyond reach. We name our annual Imperial Stout Release this to reflect our unrelenting mission to never rest on our laurels, instead to always push on the boundaries of everything we thought possible in our brewing and maturation craft, to always keep progressing. Every ingredient is hand selected, the absolute best we can get, and chosen with only one thing in mind; flavour. And every year when we come to brew and mature it, we build on what we’ve done before, always refining, always progressing this beer, our apex, our Vanishing Point. Vanishing Point 09 has been aged in casks previously used to mature whiskies at the renowned Strathclyde Grain Distillery. This marks the first time this imperial stout has matured in grain whisky casks, which are rare and celebrated for producing exceptionally smooth, easy-drinking whiskies. This year’s release delivers a deep and robust character, with layers of dark chocolate and roasted coffee notes, complemented by a velvety smoothness and hints of oak, cherry and coconut. This is truly a beer to savour, but don’t blame us if it vanishes quite quickly. » – Innis & Gunn Style / Variety: Barrel Aged Imperial StoutRegion: Edinburgh, ScotlandABV: 11.0%Vol: 330ml
