Anyone on here tried this stuff read about in mag fancy trying some so need some recommedations, thanks
try Snozzle's "Smugglers"
personally I dont like rich strong beers so I cant really recommend any, but St Austell is a good brewery all the same.
Innes & Gunn for a lighter taste, but Tullibardine 1488 for the full-on experience.
I've tried Innes and Gunn and have to say its pretty awesome stuff.
Another vote for Innes & Gunn. Beer with a lovely vanilla flavour.
+1 Innes & Gunn. Lovely!
Innes and Gunn is in my fridge waiting for me to get back from my ride and fire up the BBQ
Isn't it the other way around with Innis and Gunn? The reason the beer exists is because somebody wanted to try and make a whisky finished in beer barrels so they brewed a load of beer and stuck it in oak barrels to impart some of it's flavour into the wood. Only they later found that the oak was also flavouring the beer and making it taste really nice so they started to sell the beer as well as the whisky! I guess the casks would have come from the states so i don't know if they would have been new ones or old bourbon ones?
I believe they now make a beer which has been matured in rum barrels, haven't found any on sale yet so don't what's it like.
Rum one is okay but not as nice as whiskey in my opinion
Boggart do a rum porter, quite nice iirc
and a definite +1 for Innis & Gunn, i bloody love that stuff!

and you all know it
haha that stuff is ****ing lovely! then again, pretty much everything i've had from Badger is really good. and today is the day for something light and refreshing 😀
Golden Glory + 1!!
All that whisky matured in beer barrels and vice versa is just a gimmik IMO. Haven't tasted a nice one yet, although Innes and Gunn comes closest to being good.
Simples solution: get a nice ale or beer and a nice whisky, get a glass for each then drink together in true old man style. That way you can actually enjoy them both at the same time without ruining either. Your grampa knew what he was doing back then.
Had some Adelscott in France a while back. MMMMMMMMMM 🙂

Adelscot is vile. Typical French nonsense!
Innis and Gunn is awesome, though I do think it is done in just oak barrels as opposed to whiskey soaked ones.
For a real (expensive) treat try Orkney Dark Island Special Reserve Limited Edition.
