Fettercairn Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask Edition Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old [1000ml]

The Fettercairn Distillery is a Scottish whiskey distillery located at the foot of the mountain, which is reflected in the name, which translates to 'fettercairn' in Gaelic. It was founded there in 1824 by Sir Alexander Ramsay.

A single malt whiskey from the Scottish Highlands. Available exclusively in the duty-free shop.

After 12 years of aging in American white oak casks previously used for bourbon, this Scottish single malt whiskey receives a new flavor profile after a further 18 to 24 months in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.

The result is a premium Scottish whiskey with notes of tropical fruit and subtle spices thanks to the unique distillate refinement process. Notes of orange peel and dried fruit fill the air. Aromas of vanilla and other tropical fruits are added.

 

Tasting Notes

Nose: Vibrant and sweet, featuring prominent notes of orange peel, marmalade, honey, and a tropical fruit salad of mango, pineapple, and apricot, layered with raisins, plums, and soft baking spices like cinnamon.

Palate: Soft and buttery with an oily texture, bringing forward peach, guava, blood orange, dried mango, and rich berry jam, complemented by hints of maple syrup, crème brûlée, and a gentle white pepper kick.

Finish: Moderately short and warming, leaving lingering notes of ginger spice, citrus, and sweet sherry complexity.
