Fettercairn 1st Release 2020 Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1 Litre) 16 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with honeyed highlights and copper-bronze glints, a sunlit, luxurious glow.

Nose

Bright tropical fruits—pineapple and mango—rise with vanilla-kissed oak and cocoa malt. Sherry and port cask finishes bring dried fig, raisin, treacle, and toasted almond, balanced by warm spice and a touch of polished leather. Lush, inviting and complex, it hints at the 16 years in first-fill bourbon before the sherry-port finish, a tropical Highland aroma.

Palate

Silky and tropical on the palate, with pineapple and mango rising beside creamy vanilla and cocoa from the chocolate malt. First-fill bourbon fills with caramel and toffee, while sherry and port finishes weave in dried fig and raisin, spiced with a warm, lingering note. Plush mouthfeel, balanced oak, and a long, elegant finish that winds cocoa, fruit sweetness, and gentle spice.

Finish

Opulent, prolonged finish lingers with sherry and port sweetness, unveiling dark chocolate, fig and raisin notes, carried by a gentle spice and a warming oak glow that slowly fades.
