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.

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!
