Product details
Fettercairn 50 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey is an exceptionally rare release that reflects more than five decades of careful maturation and the enduring legacy of the Fettercairn name. Originating from a remarkable filling on June 11, 1966, this limited edition spent over 50 years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels before receiving its final refinement in Tawny Port Cask No. 1. Presented with natural color and without chill filtration, this distinguished expression highlights the character developed through time, with only 35 bottles allocated to the United States, making it a highly sought-after collector's release.
The aroma opens with spiced ginger, tropical fruit, coconut, and pineapple. On the palate, notes of ground coffee and toffee apple unfold into hints influenced by the Tawny Port cask, followed by sweet almond and burnt caramel. The finish is long and refined, revealing subtle red berry notes, star anise, gentle roasted coffee, and nutmeg. Food pairing suggestions include aged cheeses, roasted duck, grilled beef, dark chocolate desserts, and toasted nuts.
