I really enjoy when people collaborate and use each other products like in this case Windswept Brewing Co. have aged a Dark Scottish Ale in Glen Moray whisky casks.
“The Wolf of Glen Moray” Ale is a limited edition that has aged 6 months in freshly emptied Glen Moray casks that have matured the Port Cask finish edition.

It is a nice ale at 9% abv where you can catch the notes from the whisky but I must admit it disappointed a bit specially at the price. I had expected a more full bodied thick ale. The colour is dark almost like a stout and has a fine white creamy head (foam).

Well a little more about the whisky ๐Ÿ˜‰

Glen Moray – This one is from the Elgin Classic serie in the core range with a Port Cask Finish and an abv at 40%.
We don’t get the age of the whisky but the finish is about 8 months in Tawny Port pipes from Porto Cruz.
It is a pleasant dram and as Glen Moray is a Speyside distillery you get a fine floral whisky with the touch of port wine that gives it a heavier feel but it is still a light whisky.
