Horizont Night Shift 2025 Buckwheat Wine Aged In Tennessee Whiskey Barrels 330ml

Horizont Brewing Night Shift 2025 Buckwheat Wine Aged In Tennessee Whiskey Barrels | (Tennessee Whiskey) Barrel Aged Imperial Pastry Stout

In 2025, the prestigious Night Shift series continues with an unconventional experiment that pushes the boundaries of the Grain Wine category. The foundation of this unique brew is buckwheat—a plant native to Asia, whose seeds are used similarly to wheat. At Horizont Brewing, they processed this ingredient in malted form and let the resulting base mature for long months in Tennessee Whiskey barrels. The aging process transformed the original beer into a complex Buckwheat Wine with a massive body and a deep character, drawing the best from both the wood and the noble spirit.

The palate reveals bold spiciness and a specific nutty undertone from the buckwheat malt, harmoniously complemented by notes of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of smoke derived from the whiskey barrels. The texture is dense, oily, and warming, exactly as a proper Grain Wine should be. This is not a classic wine or a spirit, but a refined beer special that, with its structure and complexity, will satisfy even the most demanding collectors and fans of barrel-aging.

Ingredients: water, BARLEY malt, buckwheat malt, candied sugar, hops, yeast.
