Country: Scotland

Region: Lowlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 46%

Score: 93 Points

This Kingsbarns single malt was matured in ex-Oloroso Sherry butts, and the nose is rich with dark fruits, raspberry jam, cherries, and a hint of butterscotch. The taste is jammy with raspberries, dark fruits, cherries, and subtle spices that come alive leading into the finish. Touches of cinnamon and white pepper lead the finish, balanced by fresh berries and touches of plums and raisins.
