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.
