Here we have Balcomie, a sherried release from Kingsbarns distilled with locally-grown Fife barley. It was matured exclusively in American oak butts that previously held Oloroso sherry, which is rather unusual seeing as sherry is usually held in European oak. Richer, spicy notes from the sherry balance the sweeter, tropical notes from the oak. Top stuff from the Lowland distillery!
Nose: Fruity and sweet, with hints of treacle, sultanas, and fruit loaf.
Palate: Tinned pineapple and orange peel, cake spices
