Description
Fettercairn 23 Year Old 70cl, 48.5% is a mature Highland single malt Scotch whisky from Fettercairn Distillery. It carries the distillery’s signature tropical character, a style linked to Fettercairn’s unique copper cooling ring, which cools the stills so only lighter vapours rise during distillation.
This 23 Year Old official distillery bottling was initially matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks before being finished in ex-Cognac casks. This gives the whisky a rich and elegant profile, combining Fettercairn’s bright fruit style with deeper notes of apple, pear, almond, marzipan, plum, milk chocolate, spiced pineapple, sultana, cinnamon and mango.
Whiskybase records this release as a 2020 distillery bottling, aged 23 years, bottled at 48.5%, with Bourbon and Cognac cask influence, 700ml size and bottled for “Global Travellers Exclusively.” This makes it especially attractive for customers who enjoy mature Highland whisky with travel-retail interest and refined cask finishing.
Why Choose Fettercairn 23 Year Old 70cl, 48.5%
This bottle stands out because it offers a much older and richer expression of Fettercairn’s tropical Highland style. The first-fill bourbon maturation brings vanilla, fruit and sweetness, while the ex-Cognac finish adds depth, dried fruit, soft oak and elegant warmth.
For drinkers, it is a mature and rewarding single malt with excellent balance between fruit, sweetness and spice. For collectors, the 23 Year Old age statement, Cognac cask finish and Global Travellers Exclusively listing give it stronger interest than a standard core-range release.
