The Kingsbarns Balcomie Cask Strength is a single malt whisky from the Kingsbarns Distillery, established in 2014 in East Neuk, Fife. This distinguished Lowland single malt is crafted using local barley and matured in ex-Oloroso American Oak sherry butts for its full maturation period. This limited-edition release, with only 3600 bottles available, is presented at a robust cask strength of 59.9% ABV, maintaining its natural color and free from chill filtration. The whisky greets you with captivating aromas of sultanas, dark chocolate, caramel, tropical fruits, orange zest, and candied ginger. On the palate, it unleashes a sweet symphony of pineapple and cinnamon sugar, culminating in a finish of milk chocolate, toasted hazelnuts, and crystallized ginger. This well-balanced and refined single malt, produced by the Wemyss Malts independent bottler, is a testament to Kingsbarns Distillery's dedication to using local ingredients and traditional methods.
Kingsbarns Balcomie Cask Strength is unique due to its maturation in ex-Oloroso American Oak sherry butts, natural color, lack of chill filtration, and its high ABV of 59.9%, offering a robust and rich flavor profile.
This whisky can be enjoyed neat or diluted to your preferred strength. Allowing it to air in the glass for 10 minutes can enhance its aromatic profile.
There were only 3600 bottles of this limited-edition whisky produced.
This is a lovely and fun whisky. You can have it neat or dilute it to your desired ABV. It's even better than the original Balcomie and highly recommended for anyone looking to explore rich, sherry-infused flavors. The nose is strong and benefits from a bit of airing, revealing splendid notes of caramel, vanilla, and malt, followed by dominant sherry influences. The palate is oily and complex, delivering a delightful mix of sherry, raisins, dark caramelized oranges, and a hint of toasted oak. The long finish, although slightly burning due to the high ABV, rounds off the experience with ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and a touch of sherry fruitiness. My rating for this whisky is 87/100.
