Hallertau Saison Whisky 5 Year Old

We all know that whisky is what beer wants to be when it grows up. 

This one started life as a particularly funky French-style Saison beer. Copper pot distilled then barrel-aged for 5 years. This Whisky is a delicate potpourri of spice, pastis and toasty vanilla.

The yeast used to make this single malt is a traditional saison yeast, commonly used in European farmhouse, that brings a fruity, nutty edge. Matured in French oak casks from the Forest of Troncais, that previously held New Zealand Pinot Noir, the whisky has taken on layers of dark fruits and autumn leaves throughout the palate. 

Single Barrel release. Lucky you!
