Oak aged strong ale, Smuggler's Grand Cru is brewed for strength and is aged for a minimum of 9 months in whisky casks sent to Cornwall for the purpose from the Tomintoul Distillery.
This ageing process adds complexity to the beer, with hints of smooth oaky vanilla, toffee and spirit underpinning the notes of sweet and spicy forest fruits derived from the base beer.
