Guinness, a brand owned by British alcoholic beverage producer Diageo, has introduced new Guinness The 1759 to its existing product range.
The limited edition amber ale is brewed with both traditional beer malt and peated whisky malt that is used in Scotch and Irish whiskies.
Bottled at 9% ABV, Guinness The 1759 has butterscotch aroma with subtle hop notes, the company said.
Guinness St. James's Gate brewery master brewer Michael Donnelly said: "This is the first limited edition beer brewed in the newly dedicated Brewhouse No. 4 at St. James's Gate. Our commitment and dedication to quality is what Arthur Guinness himself would have expected and something we cherish just as he did.
"The fine peated whisky malt used in the Guinness The 1759 brewing process brings a complex taste to the amber ale that gently complements the hop flavors, resulting in a liquid that is distinguished and innately Guinness."
Packaged in a 25.4oz Bottle, the ale will be available for a suggested retail price of $34.99 in select bars and other beer retailers.
According to the company, only 90,000 bottles of Guinness The 1759 are being produced.
