80
- Nose
- Delicate peat. Clean with an almondy nuttiness.
- Palate
- Lightly oily. Minty. Chlorophyll. Starched clothing in a linen press. Perfumy. Orange flower water.
- Finish
- It wells up in the finish like a surge of memories.
- Comment
- An elegant, elderly chatelaine.
87
- Nose
- Typically rich and floral for a Fettercairn of antiquity. Lush yet complex enough for primroses to abound.
- Palate
- Brilliantly fresh and teeming in cut grass and mouth-watering malt. A lovely butterscotch plateau.
- Finish
- Restrained peppers and more malt. The oak is no more than a shadow.
- Comment
- Outstanding for any malt this age. As fresh as a daisy and a must to experience. Fettercairn really does come into its own at 30 plus!
