Two Brews from Innis & Gunn

We had another knock at our door this week and this time, we had a real reason to be excited!Two cases from the famous Innis & Gunn, Brewery in Edinburgh, Scotland. As you probably already know, Innis & Gunn's beer have a really distinct flavour that is created from brewing their beer in oak whisky casks. One was a case of the nearly new Rare Oak Pale Ale, the other was of the beautifully boxed Limited Edition Malt Whisky Trail. Looks good, but let's he see how they lined up!a warm bitter whisky finish that lingers at the back of your throat and puts a smile on your face.Limited Edition Malt Whisky Trail 7.4% ABVThis has been matured from Scotland's five whisky-producing regions.
