- Description
- Fettercairn's 16-year-old second release employs three types of sherry casks—first-fill Oloroso, refill Oloroso, and first-fill Palo Cortado—to create a complex, sherried expression that balances Highland character with rich cask influence. The layered maturation approach transforms Fettercairn's subtle spirit into something with considerable depth and richness.
