Tasting Notes:
Amber gold. Banana, citrus fruit and plum, combines with raisin, fig and ginger bread. Spiced pear, caramelized orange and coffee, tempered by liquorice that then makes way to morello cherry, plum and treacle.
Matured for 22 years in American ex-bourbon casks, the perfect maturation partner for the tropical distillery character derived from our unique copper cooling ring distillation process.
Since Sir Alexander Ramsay established the distillery in 1824 we’ve been going to extraordinary lengths to capture the purest expression of our whisky’s character. Located in the foothills of Scotland’s Cairngorms, we don’t just use crystal clear mountain water as an ingredient, we drench our stills with it, cooling the copper so only the finest vapours rise.
We recommend Fettercairn’s whiskies should first be tasted straight, and then again with a small splash of cold water – this slight dilution opens up the spirit, bringing out more of the signature tropical fruit flavours and aromas.
