Ah, Kingsbarns Bell Rock, a limited release that promises to be a symphony of flavors, carefully composed through the marriage of ex-Oloroso Sherry Butts and ex-Bourbon Barrels. With a bottling strength of 46% in 2021, this expression is a testament to the distillery's commitment to crafting whiskies that embody the essence of Fife barley and the artistry of maturation.

Nose:
Approaching Kingsbarns Bell Rock, one can anticipate a harmonious blend of aromas. The influence of ex-Oloroso Sherry Butts may introduce rich, dried fruit notes, perhaps figs and raisins, while the ex-Bourbon Barrels contribute a touch of vanilla and caramel sweetness. The nose is likely to be a tantalizing invitation, with the promise of a balanced interplay between fruit and spice.

Taste:
Upon the first sip, the palate is treated to a tapestry of flavors derived from the dual maturation process. The Fife barley, distilled with precision, may bring forth a cereal sweetness, complemented by the luscious richness imparted by the Sherry casks. A dance of fruit and spice is anticipated, with the ex-Bourbon Barrels contributing to a velvety texture and layers of complexity. The 46% ABV provides a platform for the flavors to shine without overwhelming the palate, making this expression accessible and engaging.

Finish:
The conclusion of Kingsbarns Bell Rock is likely to be a satisfying and lingering finish. The marriage of Sherry and Bourbon influences may leave a trail of dried fruit, a hint of oak, and a touch of warming spice. The finish, like the rest of the whisky, is a reflection of the careful curation and meticulous blending that defines this limited release.

Conclusion:
Kingsbarns Bell Rock, with its marriage of ex-Oloroso Sherry Butts and ex-Bourbon Barrels, is a celebration of both tradition and innovation. This limited release for 2021 encapsulates the spirit of Fife barley, expert distillation, and the artistry of maturation. As enthusiasts embark on a journey through each sip, they can anticipate a symphony of fruit and spice, a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication embedded in every drop of Kingsbarns whisky. Cheers to Bell Rock, a limited release that echoes the coastal beauty and the rich tapestry of flavors crafted within the walls of the Kingsbarns Distillery!

Official tasting note (85)

Kingsbarns "Bell Rock" is our new limited release for 2021.

This single malt is distilled using Fife barley and then expertly blended from spirit matured in two types of casks: ex-Oloroso Sherry Butts & ex-Bourbon Barrels. After the Kingsbarns spirit has been matured in these casks, the resulting whisky is filled with flavours of fruit & spice.
