Description
Fettercairn 17 Year Old 2007 Connoisseurs Choice Gordon & MacPhail 70cl, 58.4% is a limited Highland single malt bottled at cask strength after 17 years of maturation between 2007 and 2025. Matured in a refill American hogshead and released for the Connoisseurs Choice range, it shows a bright, fruit-led style that lets the distillery character stay clear while still gaining depth and structure from the cask.
This release is limited to 299 bottles, giving it clear enthusiast appeal as well as strong shelf presence. The overall profile leans into waxy citrus, ripe tropical fruit, gentle coconut sweetness, malted biscuit, creamy fruit, cracked black pepper, and oak, making it a lively and expressive bottling rather than a heavy or overly woody dram.
