Cadenhead’s Fettercairn 17 Year Old Chairman’s Stock Cask Strength (54.8% abv)

$129.99

Finished in a Granada rum cask since 2019, this bottling from Fettercairn distillery features notes of barbecued bananas, pineapple upside down cake and lemon zest.

Fettercairn is a highland distillery sat by the Cairngorm Mountatins.

Given the equipment and production style, it’s easy to see why a firm, relatively heavy, nutty style whisky is created. Furthermore, between 1995 & 2009, the condensers were made of stainless steel, adding a slightly burnt, pot ale character to the new make. However, a cooling ring at the top of the swan neck, spraying cold water down the still sides, helps reflux and guides the spirit towards a lighter profile.

Nose:
Barbecued bananas, mineral notes, pampas grass, sherbert lemons.

Flavour:
Coastal notes, miso, chalk.

Finish:
Pineapple upside down cake, gooseberries, lemon zest.
