But t\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehis one was accidentally forgotten in the back of the vault.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA couple of years ago, our friends Paul and Geoff from Tasman Brewing finished ageing their cult-favourite Event Horizon stout in oak barrels. Rich, dark and intensely flavourful, it is a beer known for its roasted malt character and, unusually, its touch of black garlic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce the stout was emptied, we filled the barrels with our 10-year-old American Oak whisky. The barrels were rolled into the vault, other projects took over and, somewhere along the way, we simply forgot about them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo years later, we pulled a sample.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe whisky had transformed into something remarkably creamy, silky and beautifully rounded, with layers of chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla and gentle oak. And, for anyone wondering, not even the faintest hint of garlic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt tasted so complete that we made the rare decision to leave it entirely alone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo dilution.
