MARIS OTTER CASK NO 2560

Written By Erik Bennett

SUMMARY

Maris Otter is a winter barley varietal used in authentic British ales that lost popularity because of its lower yield and poor disease resistance. Known for its biscuity flavor, Maris Otter has experienced a small resurgence in the craft brewing scene. Matured in a Heaven Hill ex-bourbon cask, the spirit distilled from this malt shines as another example of the treasures lost by an industry too focused on efficiency over flavor.
