"Gyle 4: This Dark Reserve was brewed in 9th April 2008 and enjoyed a long, cool fermentation to 10% alc vol in vessel No.1 at The Orkney Brewery. The small yield was then matured in six refill Hogsheads, previously used to mature fine Orkney Single Malt Whisky. Only 1588 bottles were produced. These were hand-bottled on the 3rd September 2008. Classic Dark Island aromas of smooth roast malt, dark chocolate, figs and dates combine with vanilla, spice and bitter orange aromas from teh wood and whisky." -- Andrew Fulton, Head Brewer
