We shared our whisky with our mates at Akasha and let them decide on the perfect beer to go with it. They started by taking ex-vintage port casks from Piggs Peake Winery in the Hunter Valley and further seasoning them with litres of Benriach Classic
These were then filled with a barleywine and allowed to rest until ready.
The result? Big Bold Ben - a 10.5% ABV barrel aged barleywine full of fruit, honey and caramel sweetness. A brew that stands up to a full flavoured cask strength whisky.
