In 2011 Marko became intrigued with the idea of distilling a whiskey from one of his favorite dark beers,Bear Republics Big Bear Black Stout. Made with over five different malts, Centennial and Cascade Hops, and at 8.1%, it sure had plenty to be curious about. If a distinctive flavor, far from the tried and true, makes you excited, this hopped whiskey distilled from Stout will be to your liking.

What to expect? A rich palate of coffee, chocolate and orange zest, unfolding layer after layer.
