Description
From the bottler A.D. Rattray, an 8 year old Fettercairn, distilled in 2009, from cask 1091, bottled at 60.3%, one of 280 bottles. Fettercairn is a fruity Highland malt made on mountain water under the Grampian foothills. The cooling rings raise reflux and copper contact, so only the lightest vapours rise, for a tropical spirit.
It was made on mountain water with the stills drenched in cold water, for a clean make of pineapple and citrus. An ex-Bourbon barrel shaped it, vanillin lending vanilla under the pineapple. Young and extractive, the cask sheds vanillin (vanilla) and toasted sugars (light caramel) over the tropical spirit. The light, fruity make takes cask flavour well while keeping its pineapple and citrus. John Gladstone's son William became Prime Minister and reformed the taxation of whisky. Its make matures on site in dunnage warehouses, around thirty two thousand casks in all.
Bottled at a cask strength 60.3%, it is rich. Mango, citrus and a soft honey, with a soft vanilla from the oak. It is fruity and tropical, the light spirit shining through. The finish is rounded, tropical and gently spiced. This is Fettercairn, one of Scotland's oldest licensed distilleries.
