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. Richer, spicy notes from the sherry balance the sweeter, tropical notes from the oak. Top stuff from the Lowland distillery!

Really enjoyed, right amount of peat and full of flavour.
For the price, it's a total banger. I'm getting some slight peat in this one. Nose is fruity, green apple, pineapple. Rich and full mouthfeel. Good sherry influence, steady finish.
Have now had this 9months. It had an overpowering linseed/castor oily aroma and flavour when i first opened it. Let someone else(not a whisky drinker) try it a month or so ago..thought it was very chocolately and would be appreciated by someone who didnt like whisky. Latest person to try it still thought it had the linoleum/ rubber smell and taste. If you put enough water in it the smell disappears and it tastes like aquavit without the spice. That's the punishment I get from supporting distilleries in my home county!!
pineapple and cherries on nose and mouth, with chocolate and spices on the way down. not bad for a youngster although a tad thin for my liking. still its a very decent drop. well done kingsbarns.
Young, but very good balanced and fruity.
