Kingsbarns 9 Years Old 2017 Thompson Bros.

ABV: 56.6% 70 cL

This single malt was distilled in 2017 at Kingsbarns Distillery, on the Fife coast near St Andrews in the Lowlands. Kingsbarns is known for a light, fruity and floral spirit with a fresh, elegant character.

It has been bottled by Thompson Bros., the independent bottler based at Dornoch Distillery in the Highlands, after maturing for 9 years in a first fill barrel. The label artwork for this release is by @KMGYEAH.

The first fill wood lifts the bright, fruity side of the Kingsbarns spirit while keeping it fresh and spirit-led. Thompson Bros. describe it as delicate and bright, with fruit to the fore and a crisp, clean vanilla rather than anything heavy or creamy.

Bottled ad natural cask strength without chill-filtration or artificial colouring. 

Nose

Delicate and bright, with early florals, then malted cereal, sliced peaches and vanilla yoghurt.

Palate

Fresh, spirit-forward fruit with a touch of white pepper, light oak spice and crisp vanilla pod.

Finish

Meadow notes returning towards orange blossom and soft citrus oils, ending on a briefly lingering buttery pastry note.

£75.00
