The Fettercairn Warehouse Collection is a series dedicated to limited and rare small-batch whiskies from the distillery's 14 traditional dunnage-style warehouses. Batch 1, released in 2023, is distilled in 2016 and aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and local beer barrels in Warehouse 14. This expression is bottled at 51.2% ABV and features notes of warm toasty maltiness, cacao, creme caramel, and soft wood spices, all brought together by Fettercairn's signature tropical, fruity character.
Pioneering Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass has expertly utilized ex-bourbon casks in Warehouse 14, further enhancing this expression with an unusual finish in three types of local ex-beer barrels: stout, dark ale, and pale ale. This maturation process amplifies Fettercairn's distinctive tropical house style.
The nose opens with inviting aromas of caramel, vanilla, and tropical fruit, complemented by a subtle hint of apricot and ginger. On the palate, you’ll find a harmonious blend of caramel, apple, pineapple, and cacao, underscored by a rich maltiness. The finish is a delightful mix of nuts, floral notes, chocolate, vanilla, and apricot, leaving a lasting impression. Fettercairn Warehouse 14 Batch No.001 stands as a testament to the distillery's dedication to crafting exceptional and unique whiskies, bringing together three different cask styles all filled back in 2016 and laid down to mature within the unique environment of the Highland distillery's warehouse.
