Cask: First fill bourbon, Porter beer

Size: 700 ml

Pōkeno Prohibition Porter Single Cask is a collaboration with Liberty Brewing (a Beer producer located not too far from Pokeno) and has been first matured in first fill ex-bourbon barrels and then finished for 9 months in porter beer barrels which had been first used to mature Pokeno Whisky, then sent to Liberty for their Beer and then re-sent to Pokeno for the finishing. A limited release of 365 bottles worldwide.

While Porters (so called because they were popular with Porters back in the 18th century in London) and Stouts are both dark beers, Porters use malted barley and stouts use unmalted roasted barley. The Prohibition Porter Beer with an ABV of ~ 12% is a dark beer aged in ex-Bourbon Barrels. Product description from the Liberty Brewing website "While insipid bootlegged ales were axed by the pious, sly grog shops and speakeasies continued to serve the good stuff. Those in the know indulged in tipples made all the more sweet by their illicit nature, like this richly textured Prohibition Porter. Secreted in charred oak bourbon barrels it envelopes your tastebuds in chocolatey brown malts before steamrollering them with a heady amalgam of oak and caramel."
