Product details
Fable Whisky is an independent Scotch bottler founded by industry veterans Andrew Torrance and Calum Lawrie, dedicated to storytelling through independent single cask expressions infused with Scottish folklore and illustrative artistry. Chapter 2: Folk is a 12-year-old single-cask bottling from the balanced Highland-style Teaninich distillery, which has been producing well-rounded Highland single malts since 1817. This whisky was matured exclusively in a single refill hogshead for a full twelve years, then bottled at cask strength (109.8 proof, approximately 54.9% ABV) without chill-filtration or added coloring — preserving its natural tone and deep flavor profile.
In the nose, Chapter 2: Folk greets you with a fresh, grassy bouquet reminiscent of heather fields and hay, layered with floral undertones, crisp apple, and a hint of coffee-infused chalk. The palate unfolds with vibrant green notes—artichoke, barley, and bright orange zest—accented by herbal thyme, leading into a warming, medium-to-long finish featuring white pepper, pine, and a dry spiced edge. Its robust cask strength amplifies a bold yet elegant Highland character. Pair this whisky with dishes that can stand up to its intensity: grilled lamb with herb crust, aged Manchego or sharp Cheddar, smoked trout, or rustic mushroom dishes — it also shines alongside citrusy dark chocolate desserts, highlighting its fruity and herbal depth.
