Kingsbarns Balcomie Lowland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Lowland single malt that perfectly balances gentle sherry sweetness with clean Scottish spirit character?

Kingsbarns Balcomie represents the finest of modern Scottish whisky craftsmanship from this acclaimed Fife distillery. This non-age statement expression showcases the distillery’s commitment to quality through its exclusive use of 100% Concerto barley grown locally in Fife and complete maturation in premium ex-Oloroso sherry butts. Unlike heavily sherried expressions such as Benromach 10 Years, Balcomie achieves remarkable restraint, allowing both wood and spirit to shine harmoniously. For those exploring Lowland alternatives, consider comparing with Deanston Virgin Oak Highland Single Malt.
