The gentle sparkling beast from the east 94.10 (SMWS)

Single Malt — Highland, Scotland

Reviewed April 12, 2024 (edited April 14, 2024)
4.25
4.25 out of 5 stars
Nose: Orange, summer berries, jam, cinnamon, caramel, honey and dry roasted nuts Palate: Fresh jammy fruit, plums, cherries strawberry. Malty and a little fragrant - Earl Grey, oak, vanilla, maple syrup and Demerara sugar Finish: Medium finish. Liquorice, leather and black tea. More of the plummy jam and roasted nuts. Creamy mouthfeel and very sherried. Fettercairn Distillery Distilled: 05-08-2007 Cask: 1st fill ex-Pedro Ximenes hogshead 1 of 263 bottles I really like this dram. OB Fettercairn’s can be a very tasty, light dram, but they are often a little thin to my palate. This has all of the flavour of the PX Cask OB, but adding a layer of creamy, unctuous, caramel and thickening the berry jam. Lovely structure. Wisps of spice and a backbone of oak. A wee cracker!

    Nice review! Yes, Fettercairn can be a touch thin, even with good age, but it sounds like the distillate takes a PX finish well, and the SMWS has access to excellent casks. Cheers!
