Kingsbarns Single Cask Release 2016

From the esteemed Kingsbarns Distillery comes a remarkable Single Malt Scotch whisky, specifically from their exclusive Single Cask Release series. Distilled on September 8, 2016, and matured meticulously until its bottling in 2019, this expression showcases the unique character and purity of flavor that the distillery is celebrated for. A mere 261 bottles were produced from Cask No. 1610870, a fine American oak bourbon barrel, ensuring that this whisky represents a rare and special addition to any collection. Bottled at a formidable cask strength of 62.0% Vol., this 700 ml treasure remains uncolored, non-chill filtered, and presents its essence in its most natural and unadulterated form. The nose is an intricate and delightful journey through a fruit orchard, presenting layers of pomace, stewed apples, and bananas, interspersed with the exotic sweetness of young coconut. On the palate, this whisky continues to delight with the sumptuous flavors of banana pancakes, paired beautifully with the sweetness of apple bonbons and the creamy depth of almonds. This combination offers a lusciously smooth and rewarding tasting experience. The finish is long and sweetly satisfying, echoing the theme of bananas with notes of banana, while a hint of gentle, spicy counterpoint rounds off the experience beautifully. The Kingsbarns 2016 Single Cask Release is a celebration of craftsmanship and flavor, offering a unique and memorable tasting journey that epitomizes the spirit of Kingsbarns Distillery's exceptional single malt Scotch whisky.
