The whisky begins its maturation in a combination of first-fill and refill ex-bourbon American white oak casks, building a foundation of vanilla, orchard fruit and soft oak. It is then transferred to casks made from 100% Scottish oak sourced from three forests, marking one of the flagship expressions of Fettercairn’s long-running Scottish Oak Programme. This finishing stage adds greater spice, structure and depth while preserving the distillery’s distinctive tropical fruit character. Bottled at 46.8% ABV, it is released without the heavy smoke associated with peated Highland styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose opens with sugared almonds, baking spices, passion fruit and guava, creating a fragrant balance of sweetness and tropical freshness. On the palate, exotic syruped fruits are joined by patisserie sugar, brioche and warm spice, while soft berry notes add further richness. The Scottish oak contributes additional structure and seasoning without overwhelming the ripe fruit at the centre of the whisky. Cacao and natural vanilla emerge toward the finish, providing a darker, gently sweet counterpoint to the tropical character. The result is a mature, layered single malt that combines Fettercairn’s fruit-driven house style with the distinctive influence of native Scottish oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Tropical, nutty and warmly spiced\u003cbr\u003eSugared almonds, passion fruit and guava with baking spices, soft vanilla and mature oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Rich, syrupy and layered\u003cbr\u003eExotic fruit, patisserie sugar and brioche are joined by warm spice, soft berry fruit and structured Scottish oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, sweet and finely spiced\u003cbr\u003eCacao and natural vanilla linger with tropical fruit, baking spice and a gently drying oak character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Fettercairn\u003cbr\u003eStyle - Single Malt Scotch Whisky\u003cbr\u003eCountry - Scotland\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Highland\u003cbr\u003eABV - 46.8%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 700ml\u003cbr\u003eAge Statement - 18 Year Old\u003cbr\u003eCask Strength - No\u003cbr\u003eCask Finish - Other Oak\u003cbr\u003ePeat Level - Unpeated\u003cbr\u003eBatch \/ Barrel Detail - First-fill and refill ex-bourbon American white oak casks, finished in 100% Scottish oak casks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fettercairn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44503286153303,"sku":"FETTER-18","price":349.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/3158a019-0066-4676-a314-9c7eadd216ff.webp?v=1792440789","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/fettercairn-18-year-old-single-malt-scotch-whisky-700ml","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
