- Description
- Kingsbarns' 10-year-old, distilled from local Fife barley, marks a significant milestone for this young Lowland distillery, bottled at 46% ABV from 90% ex-bourbon barrels and 10% STR red wine barriques. The ex-bourbon maturation provides a light backbone of vanilla and toasted grain, while the wine barriques contribute subtle berry notes that complement the distillery's signature light, fruity character. Summer blossom and ripe stone fruit dominate the palate, with the texture remaining elegant and refined. An approachable Lowland single malt that demonstrates how a young distillery can balance traditional Lowland lightness with thoughtful cask management.
