Kingsbarns // Lowlands, Scotland
Kingsbarns Doocot is the brand's flagship whisky, replacing the former Dream to Dram which has been retired. It is made with barley sourced just 6 miles from the distillery in Fife. Using a long fermentation and slow distillation, the single malt is distilled and aged in two barrel types: ex-bourbon which accounts for 90% of the whisky and ex-Portuguese red wine casks which have been shaved, toasted and recharred making up the balance.
Incidentally, Doocot — pronounced "doo-ket" — is the Scots word for dovecot, a freestanding nesting shelter for doves and one of the architectural features of the Lowlands distillery. Doocot is available globally beginning March 2023. (SRP $59.

Tasting Notes
"The whisky has fairly aromatic malty aroma along with red berries, honey and lemon. It feels moderately full on the palate with a lightly sweet taste and a touch of barrel spices on the finish. Further nosings brings forth a touch of chocolate and oak. It has a light oily quality and feels mostly smooth. Malty finish is not too complex, but it's pleasing. Nice daily drinker. "
