Islay Whisky Cask Beer is a unique product crafted by The Innis and Gunn Brewing Company. This beer is aged in barrels that previously held Islay whisky, infusing it with complex flavors and a rich aroma. The beer has a notable smokiness and peat character, characteristics typical of Islay whisky.


The aging process allows the beer to absorb the nuances of the whisky cask, producing a beverage with a distinctive depth and smoothness. The Innis and Gunn Brewing Company is well-known for its innovative approach to barrel-aging, making this a standout addition to their lineup.
