Kingsbarns Balcomie, 46%

Overripe fruit, assertive rum esters, and chocolate-covered raisins lead on this confident single malt’s nose. Once the almost fermented notes have been navigated, the whisky shows softer cinnamon roll aromas, with toffee and butterscotch. The palate tamps down the overripe notes, gracefully softening into dried berries, orange oil, and French toast. The finish is raisin and candied pecan-forward, fading over a moderate length of time.
