Clonakilty Crossroads Imperial Stout Cask Finish , Single Malt Whiskey, Vol.: 57.2%
Two years ago at a beer festival, Mareike Spitzer got into conversation with Michael Graves from Crossroads Ales & Lagers in Peiting. He was offering a stout beer that had previously been stored in a German whiskey barrel. A great combination.
She immediately thought about Clonakilty's beer collaboration with breweries, especially in America. Ideas were exchanged over a stout beer and it quickly became clear: we're sending two stout barrels to Ireland.
As soon as the barrels arrived at Clonakilty, the barrels were filled with single malt whiskey that had previously matured in bourbon barrels. The whiskey was then finished in the Crossroads Imperial Stout Cask for a full 18 months. The result is a great single malt that harmoniously combines the notes of the bourbon and beer barrels. In order not to lose any of the aromas, the bottling was bottled at cask strength.
The bottling is limited to 714 bottles.
