Fettercairn 1997 Signatory Vintage 21 / 58.0%

Tasted neat, then with some bottled water

This Fettercairn for the Cask Strength Collection imprint of Signatory Vintage was distilled on 10/10/1997 and bottled from Hogsheads #5611 and #5612 on 15/02/2019. This is bottle 139 of 502, and it is natural colour, non-chill filtered, and cask strength.

  • Color: deep copper (1.0)
  • Nose: pineapple, green pear, baked apple pie, spice; sea breeze
  • Taste: vanilla ice cream, almonds, strawberry, and cinnamon; grass
  • Finish: medium, salt licorice and confectionary; butter

Like almost every Fettercairn I’ve had, this is a little bit odd, but also delicious in its own way. Because the brand has not really become popular, it’s quite affordable from IBs like Sigantory, and you can get a well-aged Fettercairn without breaking the pocketbook.

Rating: 89/100
