Traquair Jacobite Ale (ABV 8%) is a traditional Scotch Ale (also called “Wee Heavy” ale) produced at the tiny Traquair House Brewery, located in the oldest continually inhabited house in Scotland. First brewed in 1995 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Jacobite Revolution, it is a strong ale based on an ancient recipe. Brewed in a 1738 copper kettle and fermented in oak tuns, Jacobite Ale is spiced with hops as well as another traditional and ancient seasoning: coriander. It pours a deep brown color with a full, creamy body and rich aromas of spice, chocolate and leather. Malt flavors and hints of coriander show a subtle hint of fermentation in oak barrels.11.2 oz. bottle.

Serving Suggestion

As an aperitif with smoked salmon, pair with Paneer cheese or other Punjabi cuisine, enchiladas in roasted tomatillo sauce, aged blue Wensleydale, Szechuan smoked crab with ginger sauce and crème brûlée. Enjoy with a fine medium full to full bodied cigar. Serve in pewter mugs.

Brewery Information:

Dating back to the 15th century, Traquair House claims to be the oldest continually inhabited house in Scotland. Not strictly a castle, it is built in the style of a fortified mansion. At the main entrance to the grounds, the Bear Gates (depicted on Traquair Ale labels) were installed by the fifth Earl, Charles Stuart, in 1738. When they were closed, after Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) passed through in 1745, the Earl vowed they would never be opened again until a Stuart king returned.

The estate contains the Traquair House Brewery. The brewery was revived in 1965 by Peter Maxwell Stuart, the 20th laird of Traquair, using the 18th-century domestic brewery equipment that had previously been used to make beer for the house. Ale is fermented in the original oak tuns, some of which are over 200 years old. The brewery makes a range of beers, though the two main brands are House and Jacobite Ale.
