Blend of imperial stouts aged 40–48 months in Russell's Reserve and Jack Daniel's barrels, conditioned on vanilla beans from 8 growing regions (Fiji, Cook Islands, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Madagascar, Uganda, Comoros). Notes of creamy vanilla marshmallow and chocolate fudge melting into caramel and whiskey-soaked dark fruit compote.
