INNIS & GUNN COLLABORATES WITH THE GLENLIVET!
The latest in Innis & Gunn’s annual Vanishing Point series, ‘Vanishing Point 06’ has been matured in oak casks that previously held The Glenlivet 18-year-old, one of the finest single malt whiskies in the world.
Just 1,500 bottles of ‘Vanishing Point 06’, an 11% Imperial Stout, will be available via the Innis & Gunn online shop – www.innisandgunn.com – from 11th November. Priced at £15 per 500ml bottle, Vanishing Point 06 comes with an exclusive gift carton, making this release an attractive option for Christmas shoppers.
During its 365 days of maturation in The Glenlivet 18-year-old casks, ‘Vanishing Point 06’ has taken on characteristics of the whisky left behind in the oak, which harmonise beautifully with hints of dark chocolate and caramel from the beer.
Jet black in colour, the beer offers an eruption of flavour on the palate, almost spicy yet balanced by honeycomb toffee and vanilla. The finish lingers, with a warming whisky sweetness.
Our first edition of Vanishing Point was in 2016 and since then each annual release of the beer has been an evolution of the last. A ‘Vanishing Point’ is something always slightly beyond reach and this name perfectly fits this beer and our quest for continual progression in brewing, evolving year by year.
Collaborating with The Glenlivet to mature this beer in their rare 18-year-old whisky casks has taken ‘Vanishing Point 06′ to another level, introducing flavours and complexity that only a whisky skilfully matured in this way, could have left in the casks.
