Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch #2


Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch #2

Fettercairn‘s Warehouse 2 collection was typically nicely acquired, so this Batch #2 additionally flew off the cabinets. Is there a little bit of a Fettercairn hype nowadays? This 2009 classic single malt matured in a mixture of 29 first fill rye and first fill bourbon barrels, each sourced from the US.

 

Fettercairn Warehouse 2 (48,5%, OB 2021, Batch #2, 6000 btl.)

Nostril: fairly fruity and actually vibrant. Apple, juicy pineapple, some banana. Lemon sweet too. A little bit of honey sweetness and light-weight floral freshness. Hints of vanilla, mazipan and cinnamon.

Mouth: nonetheless a recent and fruity core however now the oak spice is getting a bit louder. Ginger cake, extra cinnamon and aniseed. Candied orange peels. Malty biscuits and a few (rye) cereal notes, even some chilly sugared espresso in direction of the top. I’m lacking a few of the brighter tropical fruits that I bought from different Fettercairns just lately.

End: medium, barely drying, with baking spice, darkish syrup and candy citrus.

A effective whisky, however with a heavy aspect to it that masks its innate fruitiness. I anticipated extra after the very nice opinions for Batch #1 (which I couldn’t strive). Nonetheless accessible right here and there, from The Whisky Barrel as an example.
