FETTERCAIRN 28 YO Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Taste…Varnished sandalwood, hessian, cooling oils, in came the sweetness and fruit, barley sugars plus some American cream soda, followed by Fettercairn house style a tropical treat, pink wafer biscuits and yellow fruit jam. Fettercairn village has a further association with Slavery and Whisky via William Shand, who started distilling in the 1820s. The exact location of this lost distillery remains unknown. Shand used his experience of making rum on his brother John’s sugar plantations in Jamaica and his own estates and is noted having “experience of managing 18,000 to 20,000 enslaved people in his time in Jamaica between 1791 and 1823.” Not only a grand day but with some of the best Single Malts I have tasted in a while, a complete Whisky adventure. Once again thanks to all. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. The Scottish Oak programme is about more than the sawmill and the distillery, it is every aspect of Whisky making – From forest to field to Fettercairn”

Taste: Nutty, dark chocolate, very oaky, layers of oak spices and muted orchard fruits, cinnamon bark, blood orange, toasted oak, French polish, dry and tannic finish. Conclusions: Set in the wilds of the untamed Eastern Highlands at the foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains, Fettercairn begins life in an isolated location that’s allowed this Scotch whisky to hone its own distinctive taste and characteristics uninterrupted over time.
