Description
Fettercairn 12 Year Old 70cl, 40% is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky from Fettercairn Distillery, a historic Scottish distillery making whisky since 1824. The official Fettercairn information describes this 12 Year Old as a 70cl whisky bottled at 40%, with a rich tropical house style and an amber, sun-warmed character.
This expression is matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, a cask style that helps develop vanilla, orchard fruit, tropical fruit and soft oak sweetness. It is designed as an accessible introduction to Fettercairn’s style, showing the distillery’s bright fruit character with gentle spice and creamy sweetness.
Fettercairn 12 Year Old is a strong choice for customers looking for a lighter, fruit-forward Highland malt. It offers pineapple, pear, citrus, vanilla, honey, milk chocolate and soft spice, making it easy to enjoy neat, with a drop of water or as a refined everyday single malt.
