A very uncommon finding, this takes the legendary Dark Island and compliments it with a scotch barrel aging that is a most excellent marriage. I believe this is the '19 but have had the fortune of enjoying many years ago and hopefully many years to come.

Aged in scotch malt whiskey casks.I’ve been saving this, the one bottle I was able to bring home. A woody taste up front. Rich and sweet. It’s a limited edition release from one of my favorite breweries. I am so fortunate to have visited in person.

I don’t often score a five. This is probably worth a six. If it weren’t so expensive, I might rate it higher.
