Thomas Hardy's Ale, The Historical 2018

Thomas Hardy’s Ale is a Barley Wine whose peculiar aromas and flavours can develop over the years with a taste that matures in a manner comparable to that of the finest red wines.
The first vintage dates back to 1968 and was inspired by the classic 19th century English Barley Wines. It was aged in oak barrels. Thomas Hardy’s Ale “The Historical” is a tribute to this honored tradition. This project has been released in a Limited Edition with the goal of placing Thomas Hardy’s Ale in wooden barrels and adopting aging techniques that change every year.
The 2018 edition of “The Historical” was matured for six months in Scotch whisky barrels, which releases its typical roasted and spicy notes, rounding up the warm and sweet aromas of Thomas Hardy’s Ale.
