Fettercairn 50 Year Old

Aged for five decades in carefully selected casks, this superb, well balanced and impressive non-chill filtered single malt was launched by Fettercairn mid-2018 as part of their new core range. As well as incorporating the notes of tropical fruits, soft spices and toffee like sweetness that is to be expected from a Fettercairn whisky there is also a surprisingly fresh fruitiness to its palate that you would not expect from a malt of this age. Notes of blackcurrant, vanilla pear and soft spices fill the palate to start with but are then quickly followed with a strong finish of Nectarine, tropical fruits and subtle hints of roasted coffee.
