Introduced in 2023, Balcomie is a core single malt for the Kingsbarns portfolio. Like the flagship Doocot bottling, it too is made from 100% malted barley sourced just six miles from the distillery. It is aged exclusively in former oloroso sherry casks made from American oak. Bottled at 46% without chill filtration, it's available globally beginning March 2023. (SRP $59.99)

Sherry aroma on the nose, along with a butter cake-like aroma. Quite a sweet entry, with chewy dessert flavors of pie crust, pound cake, buttered whole wheat toast, and sweet roll. The body is medium-heavy and round. A long finish ends the adventure on a touch of oak. A great after dinner whisky to pair with a creme brulee or fruit pie.
The nose is traditional scotch, no sherry notes. On the palette floral with a hint of sherry. Medium finish with some spicy notes.
Nose: sharp Apricot, raspberry, corn Body : butterscotch Finish : licorice Lacks depth on the body

Spicy. Spiced orange and pineapple cake. Golden raisins.
Sweet with sherry and a touch hot.
