Rum HHD since March 2019

Founded in 1824 and situated in the heart of rich farming land, the flavour profile of whiskies produced at Fettercairn distillery is typically very tropical in nature. This 15-year-old whisky, matured in a rum hogshead unsurprisingly displays an abundance of tropical notes throughout. Fruity on the nose, with notes of guava, papaya and bananas. On the palate, there is a slight earthiness which is then complimented by notes of coconut and demerara sugar on the finish.

Fettercairn Information

Fettercairn is a highland distillery sat by the Cairngorm Mountatins.

Given the equipment and production style, it's easy to see why a firm, relatively heavy, nutty style whisky is created. Furthermore, between 1995 & 2009, the condensers were made of stainless steel, adding a slightly burnt, pot ale character to the new make. However, a cooling ring at the top of the swan neck, spraying cold water down the still sides, helps reflux and guides the spirit towards a lighter profile.
