- Description
- Matured for 28 years in ex-bourbon casks at 42% ABV, this Fettercairn pairs the distillery's core fruity character with darker, nuttier complexity developed through extended wood influence. The spirit's unusually fruity and flavourful make—a result of Fettercairn's distinctive water-cooled still that enhances ester production—creates a balanced, mature whisky with dried fruit depth and subtle oak spice. A refined Highland malt suited to those seeking gentle age and complexity over heavy wood influence.
