Commercial Description:
Bottled; Special. Also cask.
This limited edition (001) sees a 8% Imperial Stout matured in a specially selected ex Duncan Taylor & Co Caol Ila 1996 single malt whisky cask.
NOTE: Some bottles of Speyside Batch 010 have been mis-labelled as Batch 001. However, those bottles clearly state Speyside on the bottle and should not be confused with the Islay Batch 001.

A dark brown color with faint head. spectacular peat aroma with faint hints of chocolate. Peat peat and a little more peat dominate the malty body. A little saltiness in the finish. Very nice.

Bottle. dark and pored with a small head. Full bodied without the overpowering sweetness that beers of this strength sometimes have. Smooth, earthy and slightly fruity. Excellent

Bottled. Deep black coloured pour with a small fast disappearing brown head. Really really nice. Roasted and malty with notes of chocolate, liqourice, dark dried fruit, dark bitter chocolate, smoke, berries and hops. Yum.

12oz bottle from Liquid solutions batch 001 best by 01/01/10. Let me know if I have rated the wrong beer, all these different batches get confusing. Pours a deep coffee brown with a small beige head. Nose was very smokey and full of peat, more noticeable than the Port Dundas version. Finish was also very smokey with some underlying chocolate notes, finish was a little watery.

Bottle at PlanB. I don’t know which batch it is, but it’s definately good! Black with a light brown head, quickly gone. Aroma heavy malty (cask, burnt, smoke). Flavor light/moderate sweet, heavy bitter and spicy. Strong in alcohol, but not felt at first!
