Fettercairn 1824 Single Highland Malt Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep, sunlit amber with coppery glow and a hint of mahogany.

Nose

Complex and inviting on the nose, with citrus zest, ripe pear and fig, and raisin sweetness underpinning a soft sherried warmth. Honeyed vanilla, toasted almond, and a whisper of oak mingle with cinnamon-spice for elegant depth.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied, it opens with honeyed orchard fruit giving way to rich dried-fruit notes—fig and raisin—lifted by almond, toffee and a whisper of cocoa. Cinnamon and ginger provide a delicate spice, while a subtle sherry sweetness coats the tongue and soft oak lends structure. The finish is creamy and lingering, with comforting warmth.

Finish

Long and elegant, the finish reveals honeyed orchard fruit and dried apricot, interlaced with mellow sherry and toasted oak. Vanilla grains and gentle spice linger, tapering to almond, chocolate, and a whisper of citrus zest as the warmth slowly fades.
