Fettercairn Fior Whisky

Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate!
I absolutely adore this whisky, it really is one of a kind! The only problem is, is getting hold of a bottle.

Warm notes, great mouthfeel and a a lot of character. A stronger brother, at say 45% or so, could perhaps be even better.

It was quite a surprise. Very rich and complex, strongly bitter-sweet with very low notes and very high. A bit like an alcoholic chocolate caramel orange with pepper. I would say that it's not to be consumed in large quantities because it would overpower the taste buds and it doesn't have a strong enough finish to carry it through. It's all up front. I bought it by accident from a shop that was closing down in the North of England and it probably cost me £20. I don't think I'd pay £45 for another, though.

Keep giving Fettertcairn a chance but every version reminds me of why I'm silly to try another. Tasteless , horrid alcohol burn for a low ABV and burn't tyres isn't in my list top flavour . Bad bottle ? Maybe . Given it 3 chances and still the same.

Not nice at all. First glass was like drinking TCP. I decanted the bottle then a few days later the second glass tasted like TCP. After a while I started to get some sweet and spicy notes but all in the veign of Secondary School antiseptic.

Fantastic its like Christmas in a glass

Beautiful on its own. No water. The almond stands very bold. Best whisky I had while traveling Scotland.

1 of the best whisky i have tasted tbh

At a tasting with many other malts costing 4 or 5 times as much the Fior stood out as one of the very best. Deep and rich with chocolate and coffee notes and a smokey finish. Tremendously smooth and balanced. A really nice dram that has become one of my favorite single malts.

This is a favourite of mine. Purchased in Winnipeg summer 2016 on a trip home. Hauled back to Seoul where I work. I was thrilled with its strength of flavour despite being 42.3%. Unchillfiltered- great! Price - a little high in Manitoba where taxes are nuts. The price seems very reasonable here for what you're getting. Buy!
