Here Be Monsters with Vanilla – 18 Year Sazerac
Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Vanilla
Barrel Number: 412
Aged 37 months in a single 18 Year Sazerac Rye Whiskey barrel.
If you were a part of this journey with us in 2023, you’re aware that we received a pair of these beautiful Kentucky Rye Whiskey barrels to work with. The cask that was released in 2023 was left untouched in order to showcase the spirit and oak character on its own. The cask before you was noted for having a higher intensity of vanillin (an aromatic compound found in oak) than the first and, as such, we chose to lean into this direction by adding a blend of Peruvian and Ugandan vanilla beans.
Tasting Notes: Double Stuf Oreos, vanilla bean truffles and cinnamon dark chocolate
