"The nose is slightly chalky with soft jammy fruits--plums and blueberries--while in the background there's gentle baking spices. Notes of (slightly burned) caramel syrup too, but also charred orange peel and toffee. The palate is sweet, oily and spicy. Touches of chocolate, tobacco and nutmeg, as well as cinnamon and cracked black pepper corns are also found. Whiffs of strong coffee and maple syrup are there too. A nice showing by Fettercairn, this 16-year-old displays an intriguing balance between all three cask types." - Thijs Klaverstijn, Distiller (88 Points)

"...

Careful, these unusual Fettercairns will grow on you, as they did and still do with me..." - Serge, Whisky Fun
