12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700 ml)

Fettercairn distillery sits in the foothills of the Cairngorms, where the River Feugh cuts through moorland at 325 meters elevation. The site's soft water and cool maritime influence shape a spirit that favors delicate grain character over heavy peat. This 12-year expression matures entirely in ex-bourbon casks, allowing the distillery's signature light-to-medium body to develop without oak dominance. The result is a whisky where cereal sweetness—barley, honey, vanilla from the wood—remains the primary narrative, with a whisper of heather smoke and dried orchard fruit emerging on the finish. Bottled at 40% ABV, Fettercairn 12 represents the Eastern Highlands house style: approachable, grain-forward, and built for extended palate engagement rather than intensity. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open the floral and spice notes that emerge after 12 years of maturation.
