Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, reddish-amber with coppery highlights and a warm, wine-kissed glow.
Nose
Vibrant red-fruit aromas leap from the glass—ripe strawberry and plum jam—with a creamy Fettercairn core. Pineau des Charentes lends fortified-wine richness: raisin, fig and orange zest, glazed with caramel and honey. Subtle spice—cinnamon, nutmeg—balanced by light oak and a hint of almond, yielding a velvety, inviting nose.
Palate
Silky and fruit-forward on the palate, this Fettercairn pours with creamy Highland malt and a rich undercurrent from the Pineau des Charentes cask. Red berry sweetness, raisin, and dried apricot mingle with warm spice—ginger, cinnamon, a hint of clove—while toasted oak lends structure. The finish is smooth, gently perfumed, and long, with lingering fruit and a subtle cacao kiss.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish with velvet fortified-wine warmth. Plum and apricot mingle with raisin sweetness, while spice—vanilla, cinnamon, hint of nutmeg—lingers on the tongue. Oak echoes softly as almond notes drift away, leaving a warm, refined glow.
