The genesis of Vanilla Medianoche emerges from a harmonious fusion of aged Medianoche batches, ranging from 21 to 39 months, each nurtured in a diverse array of barrels: Blanton’s Bourbon, Sazerac Rye 18-year Rye, Buffalo Trace Rye, Henry McKenna 10-year Bottled in Bond Bourbon, Law's Whiskey House Rye, Weller 12-year Bourbon, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, and Buzzards Roost Bourbon. Subsequent to meticulous blending, this Imperial Stout underwent a month-long maturation on Madagascar Vanilla beans, coaxing forth profound, opulent flavors and aromatics. Revel in luscious nuances reminiscent of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, aged oak with a touch of dryness, and delicate hints of milk chocolate, culminating in a velvety custard finish.
This Imperial Stout style beer is best paired with beef or grilled and smoked game. For desert it also pairs well with chocolate and other digestives. For cheese lovers, this pairs well with buttery style cheeses such as Brie or Gouda.
