Fettercairn Warehouse 14 is here! It’s the fifth and, sadly, final limited release in this series that has taken the Fettercairn tropical house style on an adventure through various cask styles and warehouse environments. For the first time, whisky maker Gregg Glass picked a selection of whiskies from within Warehouse 14, including aged first-fill and second-fill bourbon barrels, and then finished them in a trio of beer barrels: stout, dark ale, and pale ale, before marrying the merry lot together. It was bottled at 51.2% ABV, non-chill-filtered, and with natural colour.
Toasty maltiness, charred pineapple, woody spice, and some creamy nutty elements.
More tropical fruit, crème caramel, dried apricot, and ginger are supported by a rich, chocolatey backdrop.
Long and rewarding with more chocolate, nutty goodness, and a bright flicker of refreshing mango.
