Kingsbarns Balcomie Cask Strength Edition

Kingsbarns Balcomie Cask Strength Edition is a limited 2022 release of the Balcomie single malt from Kingsbarns Distillery, the family-owned distillery in the Kingdom of Fife. Like the standard Balcomie it is a light, sweet and fruity Lowland single malt matured entirely in ex-Oloroso American oak sherry butts. These butts were previously used to age sherry in the traditional solera system, which removes the harsher wood character and lets gentle sherry notes balance the sweet, fruity Kingsbarns spirit. Bottled at full cask strength of 59.9% ABV, non-chill filtered and with natural colour, in a 700ml bottle with a presentation box.

Nose: Soft caramel and fruit cake packed with sultanas, raisins and treacle.

Palate: The sweetness of pineapple syrup with cinnamon spice.

Finish: Good length, with crystallised ginger and hazelnut milk chocolate.

Serve: Neat, adding a few drops of water to open it up at full strength.
