Fettercairn 16 Year Old - 3rd Release: 2022
The third annual release of Fettercairn Distillery's 16 year old single malt Scotch whisky! Each release explores different cask maturations and combinations, celebrating their influence on the tropical fruit notes of Fettercairn's classic style. This expression has been matured in a selection of Pedro Ximénez, oloroso, and bourbon casks, welcoming the way for heaps of exotic honeyed fruit, buttery oak, and satisfying spice.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Plantain crisps, dried pineapple, and mango rest beside zesty citrus peels. Dense notes of dates, figs, and charred oak mingle in the depths.
Palate
Sweet sultanas and raisins lead to tropical notes of fresh mango and guava. Oily walnut and buttered corn are joined by hints of earthy coffee before a prickle of root ginger arrives.
Finish
Soft, oaken caramel, sticky prunes, and spiced apple linger, with vanilla and spice keeping each other in check.
