From the producer:

A new limited edition ale, the Traquair 160  Shilling Ale will pack a punch with an ABV 9.5% and its name derived from the old shilling system, used in Scotland when beer duty was introduced in the 1800’s and was determined by the strength of the beer.

Using a mix of roasted and crystal malts and conditioned for up to three months before bottling this promises to be an exceptional ale with a 10 year shelf life.
