Fettercairn Private Edition Whisky 22 Year Old · 1989 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with burnished copper highlights and a warm honey-gold core; a mahogany-tinged edge adds a luxurious, molten glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry aroma with orange zest and orchard fruit giving way to deeply dried figs, raisins and prunes. A caramel-toffee sweetness entwines with dark chocolate, toasted almond and cedar. Spice blooms—cinnamon and clove—alongside a whisper of leather and vanilla-oak, finishing in a long, elegant warmth that hints at rare confidence and age.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and warming, this 22-year-old pours with sherried depth. Dark fruit compote of fig and raisin blankets toasted oak, while orange zest, cocoa and spice weave through a velvety, oily mouthfeel. The flavors cling with a long, refined finish, leaving subtle leather and a hint of tobacco.

Finish

Luxurious and lingering, the finish reveals dark dried fruit, orange zest, and cocoa, threaded with warming spice. A velvet oak echo carries a final kiss of sherry sweetness, fading into a long, velvety warmth.
