Barley wine-style "Scotch ale" produced in a tiny brewery at Traquair,
the oldest inhabited house in Scotland. Traquair is a pure-malt ale that can accompany or
replace pure-malt whiskey. The original 18th century recipe was discovered by Peter
Maxwell Stuart, 20th Laird of Traquair, in the mid 1960’s.
Traquair was brewing a famous strong ale when Mary Queen of Scots visited in 1566. For 200
years the brewery remained idle until restored in 1965 by the 20th Laird of Traquair.
Deep reddish-golden in color; full, velvet-like body; medium dry and powerful, with an
earthy hint of peat character.
Pâté de foie gras and other rich appetizers. Good to soak a Stilton in or to serve with
Stilton or other blue cheese. Can accompany fruit and fruit tarts or as a morning
pick-me-up with coffee and brunch. Excellent with fruit and cheese or as a winter warmer.
Enjoy with a fine cigar. Serve in brandy snifter.
