- Description
- Fettercairn's Highland character comes through in this single cask bottling from GreatDrams, distilled in October 2012 and matured eight years in ex-bourbon oak before independent bottling in June 2021. The ex-bourbon aging yields a clean spirit with orchard fruit, vanilla, and subtle spice without heavy wood influence. At cask strength from just 200 bottles, this offers authentic, uncompromised distillery character. A whisky for those who value freshness and rarity over age statements.
