Fettercairn 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl 48.9%

Description

Fettercairn 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl, 48.9%)

Rare, refined, and beautifully expressive, the Fettercairn 40 Year Old stands as one of the most elegant aged Highland single malts available today. Distilled in the early 1980s and matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, this exceptional whisky was later finished in a small number of Apostoles sherry casks, lending it a beautifully layered and complex profile.

At 48.9% ABV, it offers a bold yet polished drinking experience. The nose delivers waves of dark honey, tropical fruit, roasted chestnuts, and antique oak. The palate reveals rich apricot, spiced ginger cake, cocoa, and sweet tobacco, all carried by a silken mouthfeel and long, warming finish touched by dried fruit and soft leather.

Each bottle is housed in a sculpted decanter and wooden display box, reflecting the rarity and prestige within. With extremely limited availability, this 40-year-old release is a showcase of Fettercairn’s tropical house style at its most mature and majestic.
