Fettercairn's 12yo is not only the cornerstone and flagship of the standard range, it is also one of the distillery's best expressions if you want to get to know their signature flavour profile. This whisky matured for at least 12 years in oak casks (American oak) that previously contained bourbon whiskey. These are the most widely used casks worldwide for maturing whisky, and are known for both keeping the character of the basic spirit very well (refill casks) and adding additional flavours such as vanilla, honey, coconut,... (first-fill casks). So by using a sophisticated combination of these casks, you can do a great job of highlighting the identity of what your distillery produces. That is exactly what they have done at Fettercairn with this 12yo.

It starts with the colour: a beautiful golden colour that makes you think of sunshine and honey and a sign that the casks have done their job just enough. The nose and mouth amply confirm that hunch: vanilla and orchard fruit (pear, apple,...) engage in a beautiful duet with soft spices from the oak. This is a whisky made for drinking and it makes no effort to dissuade you from doing so. The finish really reveals the quality of the Fettercairn 12yo: refreshing nectarine, tropical fruit, subtle roasted coffee, clove and ginger. A memorable final note of soft sultanas and black toffee. Delicious from start to finish, you will feel tempted to pour some more.

This whisky is matured in Sherry Finish barrels. It is a version of 70 cl and has an alcohol content of 40%.
