“I've waited long enough to try this Ltd edition 16yr old from Fettercairn. It does not disappoint Lots of berries up front teases the palate which is backed up with a traditional bourbon wood base and some delightful sherried raisins. Cocoa and home baking there too. Not a long finish but it's a nice controlled one. This was made using what's called chocolate malted barley. Not many whiskies have used this but glenfiddich was one who did. Doubt you'll find any of this years, but I think this will be made again somehow, so grab a bottle. Nice bottle too. struth”

Fettercairn 16 Year Old - 1st Release: 2020

An intriguing expression from Fettercairn released in mid-2020, distilled using chocolate malt (heavily kilned barley, more commonly seen in craft brewing)! It initially matured in first-fill American oak bourbon casks, before being finished sherry and Port casks, and is bottled at 16 years of age. There's plenty going on here, and it's all impressive stuff.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Boozy red berries, toasted teacakes and melted chocolate, with underlying baked earth spiciness.

Palate

Fruity coffee, hickory, chocolate again, just a touch of grassy malt, Golden Syrup Cake.

Finish

Toasted oak, plump raisins and candied ginger.
