SCOTTISH Craft Brewer Innis & Gunn has teamed up with Teeling Whiskey to create a limited edition stout.
Kith & Kinn is aged in Teeling’s Small Batch Irish Whiskey barrels to produce a rich flavour with big hits of dark chocolate, coffee and treacle, with added hints of vanilla and spice. The name is Scots for ‘friends & family’ and is symbolic of the spirit of the collaboration between the two drinks producers.
The Innis & Gunn brewing team developed the stout to specifically complement the flavours drawn out from the Irish whiskey barrels. Unlike the toasted oak characteristics from Scotch whisky barrels, Irish whiskey barrels deliver a much lighter and sweeter flavour.
As part of the collaboration, the barrels used to age the stout were returned to Teeling to be used in the maturation of a stout finished whiskey which Teeling will release in Spring 2017.
Kith & Kinn is available from the Innis & Gunn online shop as well as its Beer Kitchens.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
