- Description
- Fettercairn 11 Year Old from 2008 spent a decade in a single sherry butt before independent bottling by Langside for the Hepburn's Choice series, with an outturn of 743 bottles. Highland single malts aged in sherry casks develop rich dried-fruit complexity and deeper colour, balanced against the spice and subtle peat that defines the distillery. The single-cask approach preserves cask-specific character without blending. This release appeals to enthusiasts of sherry-matured Highland malts in their early maturity.
