Gulden Draak Cuvée Prestige

Exclusive specialty beers aged in Bourbon or Laphroaig casks

The exceptional Cuvée Prestige currently exists in two versions: Gulden Draak Cuvée Prestige Bourbon and the Gulden Draak Cuvée Prestige Laphroaig.

For this first exceptional Cuvée Prestige, we let the Gulden Draak Classic rest for 8 weeks after maturing in specially selected Bourbon barrels. These barrels come from America and were only used twice in the original distillery. After maturing, the beer undergoes its classic refermentation with the unique and own wine yeast, which will ensure a perfect balance. The typical taste properties of the Gulden Draak Classic harmonize excellently with the warm notes of honey, raisins, vanilla and wood (and the slightly sweet aromas) of the Bourbon barrels. We can therefore safely speak of an extra refined barley wine, a delicious and original tasting beer to enjoy in moderation!

In addition to the Cuvée Prestige matured in Bourbon barrels, we let the Gulden Draak Classic mature in Laphroaig barrels for 8 weeks. These come from the eponymous Scottish whiskey distillery on the island of Islay. This single malt whiskey is characterized by a very pronounced peat taste. It goes without saying that the smoky, full character of this is also reflected in the taste of the Cuvée Prestige and thus provides a quirky blend.
