help Fettercairn 22 Year Old FAQ
Which casks are used for Fettercairn 22?
The standard 22 Year Old is associated with long maturation in first-fill American ex-bourbon casks, not a bourbon-and-sherry combination. This supports its prominent tropical-fruit, caramelized citrus, and oak profile.
Why is Fettercairn whisky known for tropical fruit flavors?
Fettercairn runs cooling water down the outside of its copper still neck using a distinctive cooling ring. The distillery links that unusual process to a lighter spirit character that develops notes such as banana, pear, citrus, and pineapple.
What strength is Fettercairn 22 bottled at?
The 22 Year Old is bottled at 47% ABV in a 70 cl bottle. The distillery positions it above younger Signature Collection releases such as Fettercairn 12 and 18.
Is Fettercairn a coastal distillery?
No. Fettercairn is a Highland distillery in the village of Fettercairn, near the foothills of the Cairngorms, rather than on Scotland's coast.
