Суммаризация отзывов

Fettercairn 12-year-old — лёгкий, фруктовый и сладкий виски, который часто называют простым и лёгким для питья, но нередко критикуют за слабое тело и короткий финиш из-за крепости 40%.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах виски чаще всего описывают как лёгкий, фруктовый и сладкий. В носах преобладают тропические и садовые фрукты — персик, абрикос, ананас, манго, яблоко и груша, — а также ваниль, мёд, карамель и солодовые ноты; иногда упоминаются специи, дуб, травянистые и цветочные оттенки. Во вкусе повторяются фрукты, ваниль, карамель, мёд, солод, специи (имбирь, гвоздика, перец) и дуб, при этом многие отмечают, что вкус слабее и тоньше носа. Финиш в большинстве описаний короткий или средний, сладкий и фруктовый, с ванилью, карамелью, дубом и иногда лёгкой горечью или кофейными нотами. Общий тон отзывов — это приятный, простой и легко пьющийся виски без большой глубины и сложности. Несколько человек прямо связывают его слабое тело и короткий финиш с крепостью 40%, отмечая, что более высокая крепость пошла бы ему на пользу. Часть отзывов называет его хорошим вариантом за свою цену и лёгким летним или повседневным драмом, тогда как другие считают его слишком простым, одномерным, водянистым или «дженериковым», а некоторые указывают на неоправданно высокую цену. Встречаются и более критические описания — алкогольный, землистый, мыльный или горький характер, а также замечания о непостоянстве вкуса по мере опустошения бутылки.

My first 'official' Fettercairn. It's rather subtle and definitely had a character that is worth exploring, although the 40% is really holding it back from living up to its full potency.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос81A subtle nose with pear and a hint of pineapple and a floral and a vegetal note (cauliflower?). On the background it is a bit bready and spicy, with a curious industrial note of steel wool lurking from behind. It is an interesting and uncommon nose for sure, but it requires quite some effort.
Вкус83The palate is more present, yet not very thick. Juicy apples and citrus fruits take centre stage, followed by vanilla, malt sugars, green tea and some oak spices (cloves?).
Финиш82More spicy now, accompanied by peach, apples and vanilla. Lingers with a nice touch of coffee and faint tropical fruits, although it's fairly weak and also a bit cardboardy.

Нос83Starts on the one hand malty like biscuit, on the other hand fruity with raisins and citrus tones. Then there are some syrupy notes that seem rather fake, which turn into a more chewy candy-like structure. In the background there are earthy reflections and a touch of rubber.
Вкус75Malty, burnt plastic, earth, syrupy grittiness. Overall quite unstructured. Later also nuts and mothballs.
Финиш75Short, nutty and slightly dried fruit

The Fettercairn 12 is a delightful burst of tropical fruit, especially on the nose. On the palate, caramel, vanilla, and honey are more responsible for the sweetness. The relatively low 40% ABV unfortunately makes it seem a bit thin-bodied. However, this is compensated for by the wonderful fruit notes. The Fettercairn 12 is a wonderfully drinkable summer whisky. Simple, yet very smooth and uncomplicated. Those seeking more intensity, power, and complexity should opt for the Fettercairn 16.

Нос84Malt, cookie dough. Then lots of tropical fruit. Mango, papaya, pineapple, kiwi, lychee, apricot, nectarine, mandarin orange. Plus cinnamon, vanilla, and caramel. A little splash of lemon. Amazingly fruity, malty, sweet. A true fruit explosion on the nose.
Вкус83Bitter orange, a touch of ginger. A hint of clove, cardamom. Vanilla, caramel, malt, cookie dough. Only then do the fruit notes emerge: apricot, peach, pineapple. The fruit is less pronounced on the palate than on the nose. Some meadow herbs and honey. The 40% ABV makes it seem a bit weak. However, it is quite oily on the palate.
Финиш82It begins with a slight bitterness and a touch of ginger spice. Then the sweetness emerges: first vanilla, caramel, malty sweetness, and honey. Next, the sweetness of the fruit. The finish is short to medium-long, leaving behind a hint of wood spice, herbal notes, and honey.

Quick hit review. Some would call Fettercairn a blend filler distillery, and there is certainly some truth to it. The nose offers apples, pears and cinnamon, this is indeed very reminiscent of a blend. Light and fruity in the arrival, the taste develops with gummy bears, peach and mild wood spices. Easy drinking, polished and watered-down, as you'd expect. Honey, nutmeg and some bitter herbs remain in the bland finish. It is what it is, a textbook Whyte & Mackay product.

Fettercairn 12 is a bottle of three diamentions, the first half has the boring sweet element and feels very generic made whisky. Once the bottle is 1/2 down, it completely changes and becomes interesting with the bourbon influence. Then after, about 3/4 down the old tried casks kicks in and makes the whisky on the mouth very bitter and oaky. I believe older stock than 12 years old is in the mix. Personally, I would buy this again or any other official bottle from Fetterciarn. How disappointing they have made this whisky, although not surprising considering what Jura and Dalmore are like, very generic and plain at best.

Вкус77The first half of the bottle is completely forgettable, however, after getting toward 1/2 /1/3 the taste of more characterful and some decent complexity for a standard 12 expression.

After the first couple of drams I was positively surprised but now the bottle is empty and I will not replace it for sure. In spite of its minimum % it really benefits from adding water. Within reasonable limits you don't need to be afraid of drowning it.

In 2018 Fettercairn introduced a new line of whiskies. One of them was this twelve-year-old. The whisky is fully matured in bourbon casks. It ensures that the character of the distillery comes to the fore. A nice fruity dram with fine spiciness and a nice creamy sweetness. Richard Paterson, global whisky icon, is Fettercairn's master blender. known from the luxurious brand The Dalmore. The color can be called full gold

https://www.whiskynotes.be/2018/fettercairn/fettercairn-12-years/ Nose: nicely fruity, with nectarine and tinned pineapple. Not too much vanilla. Hints of meadow flowers and mint. Behind this bright side there is also a hint of roasted nuts and a light meaty touch. Mouth: rather weak (unsurprisingly) but pleasantly rounded. Oranges, Panettone cake, candied ginger and vanilla custard again. Soft clove and herbs, now also a slightly rough oaky touch. A bit of creamy mocha too. Finish: on the short side, with toffee, mint and milk chocolate. Better than I expected, with a nice fruity character, even though the low ABV holds it back a little. Rather expensive coming from a distillery with little fame.

This malt has very little to offer. The basic brandy doesn't exactly look clean and the barrels used have certainly seen better days. The smell is still the most pleasant, but overall the whisky is pretty interchangeable and about as exciting as the unicorn on the label.

A great fruity note straight away. The pear becomes sweeter. Juicy Williams pear. There's also a lot of wood that resonates. Becomes spicier. So he's not young. In the finish it goes quickly. A malty sweetness remains. Conclusion: tasty. Relatively simple, but not boring. Easy drinking. Very classic. With a few more turns it could be really tasty.

Given the good price for a 12-YO bottling, you can't avoid making a small improvement in the overall result. A few percent more by volume would have suited it well (like the 16er with 46.4% vol.). I find the distillery character of the distillery quite exciting, even if it comes across as a bit less pronounced here.

Pleasant entry level malt, nothing out of the ordinary - except for the slightly extravagant bottle, that is. Still reasonably priced below 40 EUR in '22 but falls short compared to the similar priced Glenlivet 12 Illicit Still/Licensed Dram @48% abv. Perhaps a good starter alternative for your next (beginners') tasting.

This whisky has two problems for me: It has too little alcohol, therefore too little taste and it doesn't taste after 12 years, not significantly younger either, but you expect more. For that price I would be better off buying a Glendronach 12. It's certainly not a bad whisky, but the competition offers more complexity at the same price.

It really exceeded my expectations; Fettercairn was a distillery I didn't particularly respect. With its tropical side, it reminded me of some more mature ben nevis. I wish it had a craft presentation; it really could have been more impressive. As it is, it's a very enjoyable and decent whisky. Price-performance ratio: Good, Very good. Would I buy it again?: Yes, I could.

Нос82A not-too-loud but quite fruity aroma; yellow berries, stone fruit, green pear. Soft spices and a distinct vanilla, making it even more pronounced custard. Petit beurre biscuits dipped in milk. Lemon cake crust. Refreshing herbs like fresh cumin and fennel seeds. Apricot jam, peach juice. Pie crust. Quite delightful.
Вкус83A soft, round body, slightly below average if not medium. Peach, apricot, mango. A hint of papaya. That's the tropical feel. Vanilla cream. A side reminiscent of small tropical fruit tarts. Balanced sweetness, medium to low if not very low. Again, subtle spices; fennel and cumin seeds, plus a hint of fresh ginger in the background. Powder. It exceeded my expectations! Enjoyable.
Финиш80A hint of fresh mint is added here. It's like plum and apricot ice cream or sorbet. This is the spiciest part; fennel and cumin seeds are prominent. A side reminiscent of light passion fruit or passion fruit-infused sauces. Low intensity, a short to perhaps slightly longer finish. Interestingly, while it doesn't feel underpowered in the rest of the dish, the lack of distinctness in the finish subtly suggests this. It's not unpleasant, but a little more could have created a nicer ending.

I never did try a core range age-stated official bottling of Fettercairn. With the 12yo ‘1824’ edition [WB] long since gone, what better dram to have as a precursor to the 28yo than Whyte & Mackay’s new 12yo released in August 2018. N: Sherried/bready/porridge-y/raisin-y profile. T: Like a rough Dalmore, it’s really sweet and malty with a gooey biscuit-y heart. Thin too, 40% - grrr. F: A bitter turn with some bite. The thinness continues to be marked. C: Boy, does Paterson know about sweetness. Surprisingly tasty. Scores a C [The 28yo follows, currently unlisted on WB] https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2018/09/06/relaunch-fettercairn/
