You can't refuse a Fettercairn aged in a Sherry Hogshead. It is available in a limited edition of 302 bottles as part of the prestigious Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range, the pride of Gordon & MacPhail, one of the most renowned independent bottlers. Not to be confused with its little sister, the cask 18605402, intended exclusively for the Luxembourg market.

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

Greedy nose of genoise, café liégeois, macerated sultanas, flaked almonds, toffee and treacle, ripe orchard fruits with a few citrus notes, blood orange and lemon. Vanilla pod adds a fine balance. The palate is woody and caramelised, with a knob of salted butter, dried banana and exotic undertones. Expressive spices before a lovely finish, marrons glacés, nutmeg, humus, herbal hints, candied angelica, marzipan, walnuts and hazelnuts. Brown sugar, warm brioche at the very end.

 

In Short, 

A very successful, greedy, fruity and nuanced Fettercairn. A very well-crafted piece of work. The price is right, so enthusiasts are in for a treat.

Score : 89
