Fettercairn 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A revitalized Fettercairn, focusing on the distillery's fruity character. Matured in ex-bourbon casks for 12 years, this is packed with tropical flavor without losing the distillery's weightiness and gentle gingery spice.

 Tasting Notes

• NOSE

  Candied lemon and pineapple, butter icing, and a hint of mint. A touch of meatiness sits right at the back, giving the dram some weight. The sweetness builds and orchard fruit develops along with vanilla, milk chocolate and some green leaves.

• PALATE

  Soft and rounded, with gentle spice, milk chocolate and sweet cream leading. Fresh pineapple notes are balanced by fresh oak, with damp oak and damp leaves following. Cinnamon, candied ginger and nutmeg develop, along with a touch of creamy coffee.

• FINISH

  Vanilla cream, chocolate and coffee fade to leave menthol and crunchy apples.

• COMMENT

  Tropical fruit is in at the moment, and this is on point. It's lighter and fruitier than older releases and harks back to the longer-aged expressions of years gone by.
