Product Information
The 2023 release of Fettercairn’s 18-year-old whisky marks a remarkable chapter in its aging journey. Initially, it was matured in carefully selected first-fill and refill ex-bourbon American white oak casks, before receiving a finishing touch in responsibly sourced 100% Scottish oak casks, all of which were meticulously handpicked. In terms of its official tasting notes, it boasts a golden amber hue and presents a palate adorned with sugared almonds, baking spices, and the vibrant essence of passion fruit and guava tropical fruits. The finish is an enchanting blend of exotic syruped fruits, patisserie sugars, brioche, and spices, with gentle hints of berry fruits leading to a cacao-infused and naturally vanilla-laden conclusion. This Fettercairn 18 Year Old 2023 Edition is an official release hailing from the Highland region of Scotland.

For Centuries The Stormy Waters Of The Atlantic Ocean Has Not Only Shaped The Character Of The People Of Islay But Also The Character Of Their Famous Whiskies. In Many Ways This Fine Malt Mirrors The Character Of Islay People – Strong Yet Gentle, Warm Yet Mellow, But With A Maturity Beyond Its Years. Robust Peaty, With That Unmistakable Breath Of The Seashore, The Ileach Is “A True Man From Islay”
Nose – Earthy Smoky Peat And Salty Ocean Breeze.
Palate – Pungent Peat Smoke, Chewy Sweet Malt, Pepper, Tar And A Touch Of Iodine.
Finish – Long And Warming. Smoky Ashes Of The Peat Fire.
Nose – Very sweet on the nose. Initially it is all creme caramel, caramelised fruit sugars, wood sugar, toffee and fudge before some apple and peach come through. In time a charred note of bourbon with a pleasing dusty dryness.
Palate – A sweet start on the palate. The alcohol gives a little tongue-tingling buzz the result is a good mid-palate weight. The dry distillery character is there still, but there is now depth to counter. Water slightly dismantles the different elements, but adds some dried mint.
Finish – A deep and dark finish.
