Press Release
March 13th, 2021: Gigantic Brewing is excited to announce the release of our 2021 Most Most Premium Russian Imperial Stout barrel aged varieties. We began our barrel aged imperial stout quest in 2015, aging the original Most Premium Russian Imperial Stout beer in bourbon barrels. “Originally inspired by Russia’s favorite expression for great, Most Premium, once we barrel aged the beer, we knew we had to use proper Russian grammar, and name it Most MOST Premium”, says Van Havig.
We aged our belovedly complex Most Premium Russian Imperial Stout in 5 barrel varieties:
Bourbon: Enjoy notes of cocoa, coconut, caramel, umami & a delightful vanilla bourbon warmth. We blended beer aged in Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels.
Rye: A delightful blend of chocolatey + cinnamon and peppery spice with a subtle woody character. The more pronounced booziness, this varietal was aged in American rye whiskey barrels.
Port: With distinct woody, dark red fruit notes, we aged this in real Portugese port barrels.
Scotch: A hint of smoke, delicate dry woody notes, strong malt backbone and a mild sweet spiciness, we aged this varietal in a blend of Islay and Highland whisky barrels.
Rum: Notes of chocolate, vanilla, brown sugar, and a very distinct fruit cake cherry notes resulting in the most fruity varietal of the bunch, we aged this batch in Caribbean rum barrels.
We are releasing 2021 Most Most Premium in bottles on Saturday March 13th at both the Gigantic Brewery & Champagne Lounge (5224 SE 26th Ave) and Gigantic Robot Room (6935 NE Glisan St) locations and for home delivery (www.GiganticBrewing.com).
