Product details
Fettercairn 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is an exceptionally rare Highland release, bottled in 2024 after four decades of patient maturation. This remarkable expression spent approximately 38 years resting in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels before receiving an additional finish of more than two years in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, creating impressive depth and refinement. Every bottle reflects Fettercairn's enduring dedication to quality, time-honored craftsmanship, and the distinctive character that has made the Highland producer internationally respected.
The aroma reveals layers of exotic spices, forest fruits, Tahitian vanilla, dark honey, red apples, sun-kissed raisins, and cassia bark. On the palate, notes of dark chocolate, passion fruit, and manuka honey come together with remarkable richness and balance. The finish lingers with forest fruits and soft pastry-inspired spices, leaving a refined and memorable impression. Food pairing suggestions include roasted duck, grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, aged cheeses, dark chocolate desserts, and toasted almonds.
