Premier Barrel Fettercairn 10 Year Old

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 46%

Another cracking addition to Douglas Laing's Premier Barrel series, where the ceramic decanters, covered with alliterative, whimsical tasting notes are as exciting to explore as the whisky within. This one contains single malt from the Fettercairn distillery, matured for a decade in a single barrel that yielded a total of 391 decanters when opened, bottled for Father's Day. As it says on the front, a handsome hero of a Highland single malt!

Tasting Note

Nose

Waves of oaken vanilla, toffee, and sweet summer berries, with syrupy flapjack and zesty citrus oil.

Palate

Vanilla fudge, soft layers of peach, toasted nuts, and runny honey.

Finish

Porridge oats and more soft stone fruits are joined by burnt brown sugar, candied ginger, and a touch of drying oak.
