O'Hara's - Barrell Aged Series

Where the essence of select whiskey barrels combines with O’Hara’s award winning beers.

In 2012, we embarked on a new series of beers, barrel aging our beers in select whiskey barrels that we felt would match and balance well with any one of O’Hara’s beers.

Awards / accolades for our highly acclaimed Barrel Aged Leann Folláin include Trophy winner at the Irish Whiskey Awards 2015 & 2016 (October), Concours M Biere Pierre Celis Platinum Medal winner at Mondial de la Bière 2014 in France and Gold Medal winner at the Irish Whiskey Awards 2014.

The ninth edition of our Barrel Aged series sees our Leann Follain aged in Irish Whiskey Barrels to create a stout that is best when opened quickly and enjoyed slowly.

To craft this beer we fill casks which were previously used for Whiskey with our full bodied and rich O’Hara’s Leann Folláin Extra Irish Stout. The stout is then aged in the barrels for 3 months where it picks up the intricate flavours of the whiskey and subtle characteristics from the carefully selected oak cask. After aging we then bottle condition the beer to give a gentle carbonation, bringing out the best of both the stout and the bourbon.
