Kingsbarns Distillery is launching a new annual whisky series inspired by the history, landscape and agricultural heritage of its home in Fife. The first release is a 10 Year Old single malt matured in STR casks.
Dubbed The Cambo Collection, the series will explore a different aspect of the Kingsbarns estate with each annual bottling. The distillery sits within the historic estate, where its restored farm buildings provide a physical link between the site’s agricultural past and its present as a modern whisky-making centre.
This inaugural expression takes its inspiration from autumn at Cambo, matured in STR casks over a decade – shaved, toasted and re-charred to influence the character of the whisky. Casks were hand-selected by the Kingsbarns whisky-making team from its maturing stocks.
Located near St Andrews on Scotland’s east coast, Kingsbarns is a relatively young Scotch whisky distillery known for producing light, elegant Lowland-style single malts.

Kingsbarns The Cambo Collection 10 Year Old tasting notes
Bottled at 46% ABV, this Cambo debut is non-chill filtered. On the nose, expect baked apple, cinnamon spice, bramble jam and concentrated blackcurrant. On the palate, official tasting notes report cinnamon rolls and vanilla icing, leading into baking spices and plummy dark fruits. The finish promises a lingering sweetness, accompanied by the warmth of cracked black pepper.
Peter Holroyd, Distillery Manager at Kingsbarns, says the collection allows the distillery to explore its connection with the estate over several releases. The first bottling, he explains, captures Cambo as it moves into autumn.
“The STR casks bring richness, warmth and spice to our naturally light and fruity house style, creating a whisky that feels incredibly connected to the season and the place that inspired it,” he says.
Future releases in The Cambo Collection will explore other elements of the estate, including its agricultural landscape, locally sourced barley and the development of Kingsbarns as a distillery. The series is intended to build a wider picture of the place behind the whisky, one annual release at a time.
