- Description
- Fettercairn's 22-year-old Highland single malt showcases the distillery's fruit-forward character, matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 47% ABV. Mango, apple, and cherry notes dominate the palate, layered with vanilla, oak, and crushed spices that build complexity. The texture is smooth and approachable, with oak providing structure without overwhelming the fruit. This expression suits those seeking elegant Highland fruit with measured oak influence—ideal as a contemplative dram or introduction to Fettercairn's range.
