Kingsbarns Doocot – 46,0%

The Kingsbarns Doocot is the new flagship of the distillery and is to replace the Kingsbarns Dream to Dram. The whisky is said to be about seven years old and is predominantly (= 90%) matured in first fill bourbon barrels and 10% in Portuguese STR red wine barrels. The whisky is said to harbour a lush floral note with plenty of sweetness. The STR casks, in turn, provide sufficient complexity. Caramel, banana, tropical fruits in general, summer berries, all this can be guessed. By the way, Doocot is Scottish for “Devecot”, which means “dovecote” in English. This bottling is a dovecote for the Kingsbarns distillery because the first-filled cask from March 2015 is part of this whisky.
