One of the recurring specials is the Russian Imperial Barrel Aged Christmas Stout.The R.I.B.A.C.S. was first brewed between Christmas and New Year's eve of 2014. Since then, Crooked Spider has been on a quest to source unique single cask distillate barrels to age their Russian Imperial Stout.
The release of R.I.B.A.C.S. 2017 led to the launch of the first non-barrel aged Russian Imperial Stout, which after winning the gold medal at the Dutch and Brussel's beer challenge, was promoted to the core-range.
Each year Crooked Spider releases a range of completely different barrels which has been home to their RIS for at least 6 months. Dividing the same beer over barrels unlike any other, creates an exciting and exhilarating beverage that many look forward to all year.
Linkwood 1995. Barrel 5961
The oldest whisky barrel to date, coming from a hogshead, the woody notes of this barrel are more pronounced. The whisky is super smooth, so this barrel had to age slightly longer to become perfect. The final abv was 10.82%, the lowest of the series.
