- Description
- Fettercairn matured for two decades in refill hogshead cask 13738 from January 1997 to April 2017, independently bottled by Hunter Laing with only 328 bottles produced. The extended aging in refill wood allows the distillery's subtle floral and grain-forward notes to develop with clarity and refinement. A restrained Highland malt suited to those who appreciate delicate character over bold statement.
