About This Beer
The crew at Vault City teamed up with fellow Scottish beer makers at Brewgooder and single-malt distillers at Bruichladdich to craft their take on the classic cocktail. They started with a mixed fermentation base Sour Ale and then barrel-aged it in Bruichladdich casks for nine months.
Tasting Notes
Additions of hand-picked lemon balm foraged locally from Islay and Scottish heather honey swirl together, creating a gorgeous balance between tangy acidity and smokey sweetness. A kiss of peaty oak comes through on the backend to round out the complex flavor.

Lots of sour funk in the nose - very farmhouse-reminiscent. Tart, grapey, honey for days, sweet lemon, and pillowy on the palate. Honey sweet finish.
