This morning I have your very first peek at an exciting new collaboration coming from Sierra Nevada in Chico, CA and Mills River, NC. This is Bourbon Barrel-Aged Bigfoot and it will be a collaboration with Buffalo Trace. This barleywine-style ale is aged in Buffalo Trace E.H. Taylor Jr. collection barrels as part of a 7-Year vintage of Bigfoot and this extremely rare limited release 2022 beer will hit 15%-AbV. zzubreebym You’re looking at the 750ml bottle and stay tuned for release details.
This 4 Oct 2022 update from Sierra Nevada:
A beastly beer & iconic collaboration.
Sierra Nevada brewer Nick Ison, who's solely dedicated to our barrel-aging program, knows this is something special. Historic even. "If it’s not the best barrel-aged beer we’ve ever made, it's the most unique."
And at 15% ABV, our collab with Buffalo Trace Distillery is 750ml of immense flavor.
There's nothing quite like Bigfoot Barleywine aged in spirit barrels, and there’s no distillery more awarded than Buffalo Trace. Their Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. small batch bourbon honors the "Father of the Modern Bourbon Industry," and together we selected a lineup of rare E.H. Taylor barrels to finish a custom blend of Bigfoot Barleywine.
Nick and fellow brewers hand-picked vintages of Bigfoot already aging in bourbon whiskey barrels — for up to 7 years! They labored over an intricate blend with stunning flavor, yet still had potential to evolve. After a final year in E.H. Taylor barrels, the beer that emerged was simply unreal. The rich barrel character takes the spotlight, pairing beautifully with deep malty notes of caramel, burnt sugar and dark fruit.
With such complexity, this is one to sip and savor. Snag a limited bottle — housed in an E.H. Taylor-style canister — to enjoy alongside the best of friends and family.
