The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Original is the beer that put Innis & Gunn on the map: a Scottish Golden Beer cask-matured using single malt whisky casks for a smoothness that's rare in the style. It remains one of the brewery's most recognizable and widely enjoyed releases.
The whisky cask maturation lends the beer a distinctly smooth, rounded character, with notes of vanilla, oak, and toffee-like sweetness layered over a light, golden malt base. It's a beer that drinks easily despite its cask-aged complexity, striking a balance between approachable and genuinely interesting.
Serve Original in a tulip or pint glass at cellar temperature to let the whisky cask notes come through fully. It pairs well with grilled salmon, roasted chicken, or a caramel shortbread, and its smooth, malty profile also makes it a great gateway beer for whisky drinkers exploring cask-conditioned beer for the first time.
Packaged in 6-packs, Original remains a benchmark for cask-aged golden ales and a great introduction to Innis & Gunn's broader barrel-aging lineup. Order Innis & Gunn Original Scottish Beer online at Habits Bottle Shop and taste the beer that started the brewery's whisky cask tradition.

Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
