Third Barrel: The Space Between Us
Big, bold and rich in flavour. A supremely rich, full-bodied imperial stout laced with subtle notes of dark chocolate, molasses and caramel. The barrels we used started the first 10 years of their life in Kentucky aging Bourbon, before making their way to Ireland to spend the final 3 years aging premium Irish whiskey.
