Kingsbarns
launch Dream to Dram, the first
generally available single malt Scotch
whisky from the Lowland distillery.
Almost four years on since the
Kingsbarns distillery, located in the
East Neuk of Fife near St Andrew's,
filled its first casks in March 2015, it has today
announced the launch of its first
flagship single malt whisky expression
that will be generally available, the
Kingsbarns Dream To Dram.
Named to mark the Wemyss Family’s
(owners of the distillery) vision to
bring malt whisky distilling to their
Fife home. Kingsbarns Dream To Dram is a
Lowland single malt Scotch whisky, it
truly is a local dram having been
crafted using barley harvested
exclusively from the golden fields of
East Fife.
Kingsbarns Dream To Dram has been
matured primarily in first fill American
bourbon casks (90%), sourced exclusively
from Heaven Hill in Kentucky by Isabella
Wemyss, with the remaining 10% component
of the Dream to Dram matured in shaved,
toasted and re-charred wine casks. All
Kingsbarns casks are matured in
warehouses not far from the distillery
in Fife.
In describing the new single malt
Kingsbarns tell me that "the natural
elements on Kingsbarns Distillery’s
doorstep, combined with superior wood
choice and long, slow fermentation give
Dream to Dram its remarkably complex and
distinctive Lowland character: light,
intensely fruity, floral and balanced,
with colour and richness coming from the
wood. On the nose there is banana,
pineapple syrup and summer berries, with
a slight herbal note. There is soft
toffee, custard pastry and redcurrants
on the palate, with a finish of ginger
syrup".
Dream to Dram is bottled in 70cl at 46%
ABV and has a RRP of £44.95. It will
soon be
available from the Kingsbarns Distillery
online shop and from specialist online whisky retailers such as The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of Malt
