Fettercairn 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
After years of maturing in ex-bourbon barrels, Fettercairn's 12 year old captures the distillery's signature tropical fruits, described as "a delicious combination of pineapple, banana and mango together with coffee beans, cured ham and dried flowers." Beautifully presented in the distillery's new bottle shape. 40% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Malt and mango on the nose, with just a hint of meatiness and earth. Pear and resin notes appear in time. Orchard fruits, vanilla, cloves, and cocoa powder on the palate. The sweet fruit notes are quite intense. Hazelnut and fudge in the medium-length finish. 88 points - whiskyadvocate.com, reviewed by: Gavin Smith 2020
...exhibits the distillery's normal languid nuttiness... embraces some attractive heather honey notes which sits comfortably with both the juicier barley tones and light caramels. It all works rather well. Yes, I really rather enjoyed this one. 88.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022
...Seriously, Fettercairn, 40%? I can’t help but feel this stubbornly bewildering yet undeniably charismatic make would benefit hugely from a bit more oomph. 79 points - whiskyfun.com
