Details/Tasting Notes:
Phase I will be released on January 18, available by the glass or in a bottle to go. For this release, our 2024 Barleywine will have spent one month in the Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels. We are expecting this beer to have more of a strong malt backbone with a prominent hop flavor than we are used to with our typical aged barleywine. There should be a slight hint of oak, vanilla and caramel, however there will be plenty of room for the flavor to grow over the year!
Phase II will be released on June 28 and will be available by the glass or in a bottle to go! This beer will be aged for six months in Heaven Hill Distillery Bourbon Barrels. This beer should have a noticeable influence from the Bourbon Barrels, with the oak and vanilla flavors developing nicely alongside the malt and hop characteristics from the barleywine. You should also find a little warmth behind the booziness of this beverage as it starts to take on more of the bourbon notes from the barrel.
Phase III will be released on December 13, and will be available by the glass or in a bottle to go. We are expecting this beer to be the smoothest and richest with the influence of 12 months in the barrel! This beer will be sweet and boozy with a more mellow malt and hop profile. The heat from the bourbon will be noticeable but it will blend seamlessly with the vanilla and oak flavors from the barrel.
Make sure to grab a vertical tasting pack with all three bottles, they make great gifts and the flavor will evolve as they age in your cellar!
