Smugglers Grand Cru is brewed for strength and is aged for a minimum of 9 months in whisky casks sent to Cornwall especially for this purpose from the Tomintoul Distillery in Perthshire, Scotland. This ageing process adds complexity to the beer , with hints of smooth oaky vanilla, toffee and spirit underpinning the notes of sweet and spicy forest fruits derived from the base beer. Finally, to finish, the beer is bottled using the methode Champagnoise at the Camel Valley Vineyard on Cornwall.
