Fettercairn 40 Year Old Description
Matured in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and finished in Apostoles sherry casks, this Highland single malt was distilled on 23rd December 1977. Bottled aged 40 years old at a strength of 48.9% abv, only 818 bottles have been produced.
The nose has sweet honey, treacle and molasses with a touch of ginger and rich sherry. The palate brings aspects of liquorice and citrus, balanced with raisins, toffee and Demerara sugar, before a soft spice in the fruity finish.
