From the brewer

A unique blend of Bourbon County Brand Stout aged in rye whiskey barrels with blackberries, Luxardo candied cherries, fresh sour cherries and sea salt. Developed by the team of Goose Island brewers, this year’s recipe was especially collaborative. The brewers submitted recipes, held a roundtable discussion dissecting each and in the end landed on Bourbon County Brand Regal Rye Stout.

A little too sweet.
2015 release
Basically a Bourbon County with what seems like a touch of cherry syrup added. I'm not a fan of cherry stouts or cherry chocolates, so while this was still good, it was a step down from the others. High and sweet bourbon notes and a lingering fruit-tart finish.
