Innis & Gunn Original
Original came about as a happy accident – in 2002 when a Scottish distillery requested a beer from the brewer to season their oak whisky casks. Months later someone sampled the beer after its time in the casks and the taste, transformed by the oak, was remarkable. Now Original is matured in both oak casks and Oakerators then blended together, so that a percentage of every batch sits for weeks in cask in Scotland.

Tasting Notes
Incredibly smooth taste that delivers notes of biscuity malt and vanilla – hints of toffee and oak – swirling within a creamy, mellow character.
Accompaniments
A mature beer that can take on the power of juicy steaks and burgers, handle the spiciest of curries, and the tastiest of grilled seafood.
