Full of sweet, fruity character, DOOCOT is light, intensely fruity, floral and complemented by a rich colour coming from the high quality bourbon casks it has matured in.

About Doocot

Inspiration for the name of our new Single Malt came from the heart of our distillery at Kingsbarns. During the renovations of the old farmstead that began in 2013, efforts were made to restore, not replace, many parts of the historic building. One of these was its oldest space: The Doocot.

Scottish for Dovecot, the Doocot sits at the centre of our Fife distillery and holds our first fill cask from March 2015. As a space that once acted as home for doves and pigeons, it has now transitioned to a home for our story, but with its history still very much intact. Our new flagship single malt has enjoyed a longer maturation in cask, maintaining balance and developing complexity. Purchase a bottle today and become a part of that story.

Farewell Dream to Dram

The single malt that started it all here at Kingsbarns has been retired. As our first release back in 2018, Dream to Dram has, and will always have, a special place in our story; the first chapter comes to a close and we are so excited to continue our journey and take you along with us.
