Back in 2021 we had the chance to acquire some very rare Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15 Year barrels that had just been emptied. Knowing that this could potentially be the only time we ever get them, we wanted to put something special in them. We brewed up our "recipe 2" stout at a relatively moderate gravity and subbed in maris otter malt as our base malt to add additional richness to the beer. We let the beer age in these rare casks for 29 months before blending, then added a moderate amount of carbonation before being bottled.
While we typically layer blends of different beer aged for specific amounts of time to give the blend notes of fully aged beer full of umami or younger beer that has more life to it to, this beer on it's own offers a unique perspective at a blend of casks solely containing fully mature beer from one recipe and one brand of spirit casks -- each cask being fully unique in the character it added. Fully saturated with notes of bourbon, cocoa, dark berries, leather, char and smoke, exceptionally smooth. 13.4% ABV
