Fettercairn has been established since 1824 and is a hidden gem in Scotland’s Highland region. This special release is the third in a limited-edition 16 Year Old series which has never before made it to our shores – and you won’t find it anywhere else in Australia outside of the Club.
Master Blender Greg Glass is the proud creator of both this Fettercairn 16 Year Old and the Dalmore No.1 Luminary 15 Year Old which sold out back in November 2022 for $450.
“The challenge for me was in ensuring the right amount of fine-tuning to get the exacting balance of cask influence that would deliver the profile we wanted, one that accentuates the flavour dimensions to make this taste incredible.” - Greg Glass
Using first and second-fill Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks and American oak casks, and with notes of lightly syruped figs, tropical fruits, patisserie spices, moist ginger cake, and baked apple saturating the palate, this release further showcases its Sherried cask maturation in being non-chill filtered and 100% natural in colour. Add to that its full body and lingering 46.4% ABV and you’ve got yourself a dram delicious enough to rival distillery favourites Aberlour 16 YO and The GlenDronach 15 Revival.
