The Kingsbarns Dream to Dram Limited Release is a single malt Scotch whisky distilled, matured, and bottled by Kingsbarns Distillery in Fife, Scotland. Crafted exclusively from barley harvested near the distillery in East Fife, this whisky is a true representation of the Lowland single malt style.
Distilled in 2015 and bottled in 2018, this whisky is a youthful expression with an ABV of 46% and comes in a 700 ml bottle. The Dream to Dram has been matured in two types of casks: first-fill ex-bourbon barrels from the Heaven Hill distillery in Kentucky and shaved, toasted, and re-charred (STR) barriques. This combination of casks imparts a soft, fruity, and floral character to the whisky.
On the nose, Dream to Dram is light and fruity with notes of banana, pineapple, red berries, and a slight herbal undertone. The palate mirrors these fruity and floral notes with added hints of toffee, custard tarts, redcurrants, and a subtle touch of ginger. The finish is smooth with lingering spicy notes of ginger syrup.
Owned by the Wemyss family, who have a long-standing history in the whisky industry, Kingsbarns Distillery is located in a historic farmstead built in 1800, part of the East Newhall Farm. The Wemyss family has meticulously renovated the farmstead to create the distillery, making Dream to Dram their flagship single malt. This limited release promises a unique flavor profile that combines fruity and floral elements with a smooth, satisfying finish.
