TASTING NOTES
Nose: Opens with Fettercairn’s signature nutty malt and tropical fruit notes, enhanced by vanilla and coconut. Hints of baking spice and honey provide a warm, inviting bouquet.
Palate: Silky and well-balanced, the palate offers flavors of toasted walnuts, mango, and spicy ginger. The rum influence adds a layer of brown sugar and molasses to the Highland malt.
Finish: Medium to long, with a lingering nutty sweetness and a gentle oak spice. The final impression is harmonious, approachable, and elegantly fruited with tropical undertones.
