Take, for example, the Russian imperial stout — a beer style synonymous with the ominous jet-black, velvety, and rich brews that break through the double-digit ABV threshold. Along with sours and IPAs , Russian imperial stouts (RIS) have become one of the most coveted styles on the American craft beer market.

Review: GlenDronach Grandeur Batch 12 29 Years Old

Drinkhacker

Last year’s GlenDronach Grandeur release, Batch 11 , was the oldest in its history at 28 years of age. Well, the distillery just upped itself for the second year running with Batch 12, a 29 year old whisky that is matured entirely in oloroso sherry casks. With the intense coffee-brown color and richness of flavor, I would have sworn this was at least partially aged in Pedro Ximenez casks, if not entirely.

But such rank chauvinism stops today, reader, because today, we turn our collective Western gaze eastward. Over there, past Hawaii, the international date line, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch , lies a nation of 1.4 billion people, the majority of whom are over legal drinking age.
