This latest launch follows on from the recent release of Fettercairn
16 Year Old, and takes their core range up to six whiskies, ranging from 12 to
50 Years Old.
Fettercairn 22 Year Old, is said to deliver notes of banana,
citrus fruit, plum, raisin, fig and gingerbread. Followed by notes of spiced pear, caramelised
orange, coffee, liquorice, Morello cherry, plum and treacle on the palate.
Commenting on the news, Kirsteen Beeston, Head of
International Malts at Whyte and Mackay, said: “In adding a further expression
to the core range, we have significantly enhanced the flavour experience on
offer at Fettercairn. We’ve also
expanded consumer choice and demonstrated the exceptional quality of our aged
stock at Fettercairn. Growing from four
to six expressions reflects feedback we have received on the core range and the
clear need to bridge the gap between the 12 and 28 Years Old. We are working
hard to create a range of whiskies which honour the approach at Fettercairn,
but also provide whisky drinkers with single malts showcasing the special
character which sits at its heart.”
Fettercairn 22 Year Old, will initially be available exclusively
from The Whisky Shop, before being available from other specialist retailers in
August, for a RRP of £200.00.
