Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

that unmistakable walnut cake and sweet mustard character comes through beautifully, joined by bitter oranges and an unexpected coastal touch – oysters, of all things! Hints of tar and rubber are present, but far less than in older releases, and in any case, that’s part of Fettercairn’s charm

restaurant Palate

rich, honeyed, thick, and delightfully spicy, with a pleasing firmness. Chestnut cream, more nuts, a touch of earth, a light salinity, and perhaps once again, a cheeky oyster. It’s really very good, though one might suspect some of this richness comes from rather exuberant casks

timer Finish

long, turning peppery, yet still salty and honeyed, with notes of honey-lemon biscuits. There’s a return of that earthy element in the aftertaste
