The latest in our annual Vanishing Point series, Vanishing Point 06, an Imperial Stout brewed in special collaboration with The Glenlivet. is released today!
It has been matured in oak casks that previously held The Glenlivet 18-year-old, one of the finest single malt whiskies in the world. Just 500 bottles of Vanishing Point 06 will be available in the UK. The imperial stout comes with an exclusive gift carton, making this release an attractive gifting option for Christmas shoppers.
During its 365 days of maturation in The Glenlivet 18-year-old casks, Vanishing Point 06 has taken on characteristics of the whisky left behind in the oak, which harmonise beautifully with hints of dark chocolate and caramel from the beer.
Jet black in colour, the beer offers an eruption of flavour on the palate, almost spicy yet balanced by honeycomb toffee and vanilla. The finish lingers, with a warming whisky sweetness.
Dougal Gunn Sharp, Founder and Master Brewer, Innis & Gunn said: “Our first edition of Vanishing Point was in 2016 and since then each annual release of the beer has been an evolution of the last. A Vanishing Point is something always slightly beyond reach and this name perfectly fits this beer and our quest for continual progression in brewing, evolving year by year.
Collaborating with The Glenlivet to mature this beer in their rare 18-year-old whisky casks has taken Vanishing Point 06 to another level, introducing flavours and complexity that only a whisky skilfully matured in this way, could have left in the casks.”
