Fettercairn 12 year old, 46%

Aged exclusively in bourbon barrels, this is an elegant and well-composed malt. The nose is lively and fruity, with bananas and apples vying with tropical fruits like pineapple and passion fruit. The flavors evolve on the palate, with the tropical fruits fading into yeasty sourdough and toasted vanilla. While the malt notes are more pronounced, the delicate fruits add complexity to each sip. The finish is light, with pineapple and vanilla balanced by subtle oak.
