This is Vlad (before it was called Vlad), which has not been spiced and was aged in a Pinot Noir instead of Bourbon barrels. Nearly all Vlad is now aged in Heaven Hills Bourbon Barrels. The original Vlad was a blend of Bourbon and Pinot barrels, so the P-quad is a single component of the original Vlad. The six years in the cellar have turned this “staff only” beer into a tart yet sweet little surprise. Tasting this, then Vlad really reveals the journey.
