Tasting Notes
Pouring this vibrant amber elixir unveils an inviting aroma that transports you to a cozy bakery. The nose is graced with sweet vanilla, reminiscent of freshly baked pastries, complemented by the delicate fragrance of apricots and a hint of malty coffee. As the whisky caresses your palate, a nutty symphony unfolds, with toasted almonds and macadamia nuts taking center stage, harmonized by honeyed fruit notes and the comforting familiarity of rich tea biscuits. The finish is a delightful crescendo, where baking spices weave their way through chewy barley, zesty citrus oils, and a whisper of pepper, leaving a lingering and satisfying aftertaste. This single malt, distilled in 2012 and matured for eight years in a single ex-bourbon cask, is a testament to the artistry of GreatDrams, who masterfully bottled this limited edition of 200 expressions from the Fettercairn distillery.
