The Whisky

The fourth release of Fettercairn 16 year old single malt, this 2023 bottling has been matured in a combination of first fill ex-Port pipes and ex-Bourbon casks. The whisky expertly showcases the distillery's signature tropical flavours, derived from their cooper cooling ring distillation process - in which the stills are drenched in clear mountain water to ensure only the finest vapours rise.

Expect tropical fruit warmth on the nose, alongside layers of rich cacao, sugared almonds and floral top notes. The palate is bursting with blackberries, raspberries, sweet vanilla and caramel notes which lead into hints of plum, fresh baked ginger cake, cherries and aged oak spice that accentuate the tropical house characteristics of Fettercairn.
