развернуть подробно
Среди 20 текстовых отзывов большинство оценок лежит в диапазоне 85–89. Повторяющиеся мотивы в описаниях — тропические и садовые фрукты (ананас, персик, абрикос, манго, яблоко), мёд, ваниль, карамель/ирис и специи. Так, один из отзывов описывает «lots of fruit… ripe red apples… peach jam… mango», ваниль и карамель, а на вкус — жёлтые фрукты в сиропе, мёд, немного дуба и специй; ещё один отзыв тоже говорит о тропических фруктах, карамели, ванили, а на вкус — дыня, ананас, персик, какао и имбирь; другой отзыв отмечает доминирующий фруктовый нос (ананас, груша, печёное яблоко, абрикос) и фруктовый вкус с мёдом и лёгкой перечной нотой. Один из отзывов выделяет «aromatic dry down and peach in the mouth» и солёно-персиковый вкус; ещё один отзыв — «tropical fruits on the nose. Lot’s of them», полный и сбалансированный вкус и долгий шелковистый финиш. Несколько отзывов прямо называют виски сбалансированным: («Balanced, medium texture… good body»), («Proper well-balanced dram… big caramel fudge vibe»), («Sweet, yet nicely balanced»). Другой отзыв обобщает: «A very classic Fettercairn that perfectly conveys the (new) house style with lots of tropical fruit aromas».
Вместе с тем есть и критические замечания. при высокой оценке 87 пишет, что финиш «a bit weak»; один из отзывов отмечает, что местами влияние бурбона кажется чрезмерным («a little too much bourbon in between»); ещё один отзыв сожалеет, что виски не бочковой крепости, из-за чего «lacks a bit of tension»; другой отзыв называет нос слишком закрытым («too shy»), хотя вкус оценивает высоко; один из отзывов описывает финиш как средний, где фрукты уходят, остаются солод и дубовые специи. Единственный явно негативный отзыв — с оценкой 79: «underwhelmed… expected great things and was left with a glum feeling», с носом «curdled pineapple juice, mossy, almost fish» и финишем «Disappointment». Также при общей похвале замечает, что виски «too much buck for the ’bang’», а ещё один отзыв наоборот считает цену относительно справедливой.

Complex nose, nice flavour intensity, the finish is a bit weak though.

Noticeable progress from the 16-year-old, not quite as fickle and a bit more mature. In places the bourbon influence seems a little exaggerated, but elsewhere you have so wonderful fruits that you could assume that one or the other sherry barrel is also involved.

Perhaps my bottle had been filled on a Friday afternoon, but was underwhelmed - expected great things and was left with a glum feeling.

| Вкус | 79 | Yoghurt, nothing jumps out - underwhelming. |

Proper well-balanced dram. The 12 on steroids with way more tropical fruit notes and a big caramel fudge vibe to it. It's a shame it's not at CS because it lacks a bit of tension.

I didn’t know what to expect from this dram as I had read mixed reviews (some eulogistic, some way less so) about previous Fettercairn releases. Participating in this tasting was the occasion for me to start making my own opinion, tasting their juice myself. And what a pleasant surprise it was. I love tropical fruits, especially pineapple and passion fruits, and I have been more than satisfied here. The nose takes its sweet time to open but is very fruity once it does, and the palate cranks those fruits to eleven. This is very tasty. The nose is too shy, but it’s still pretty good whisky, no doubt. I’ll expect good things of the next ones I’ll be able to taste.

| Нос | 82 | A bit closed at first even after a good moment in the glass, but I’m getting fresh laundry, hay, orchard fruits (peach, apricot), tropical fruits (pineapple, mango and a couple passion fruits) and vanilla. |
| Вкус | 87 | Way more open than the nose. Orchard and tropical fruits (especially over-ripe passion fruits) from the nose are here with a bang, citrus-a-plenty, coffee beans, then it moves to the bitterness of grapefruit and raw wood. |
| Финиш | 85 | Citrus, ginger, passion fruits, vanilla and oak, with a medium length. |
Got a sample from the Dutch ambassador Toon de Gier at Whisky festival Leiden this year. The 12 is pretty good, better then the 16. So, what is this one going to bring?
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 88 | Tropical fruits like pineapple, pear, baked apples, abricot and a little citrus. The nose is dominant in fruit, for sure! A little vanilla after a while in the glass. |
| Вкус | 86 | Fruity again, abricot, peach and honey. There is a little note that makes it spicy/peppery but in a good way. |
| Финиш | 87 | Medium in length and strenght but very smooth and pleasant. Allot better than the 16. |

S 7 Light and fruity. Much like being served spice tea with fruity teacake for my afternoon tea in the springtime forest. [78-82] I'll gladly welcome another dram. N 25 Very light and subtle. A mix of fruits. Fruit juice gummy bear. Cereal. Menthol. Plenty of fragrant wood spices. After 10 minutes, there are more vanilla and afternoon tea cakes. P 26 Juicy oak & Fruits (pineapple, orange). Well-aged oak bitterness and spices integrated with lightly roasted malt. After 10 minutes, a touch citrusy and oily. Getting more oak spices and malt. F 24 Mid finish. Fruits are gone. Malt and oak spices lingering.

Tropical fruits on the nose. Lot's of them. Really pleasant nose. Transfers over to the palate and finish. Though scoring a smidge less then the nose did... All three aspects of this experience are very much in line. No surprises there. Palate is full and balanced. Some hints of sparkly orange lemonade. Finish is long and silky. Very nice whisky but... too much buck for the 'bang' ...
nose: fruity, a little almond paste, lemony freshness, pastry mouth: it opens with cooked white fruits, bread crumbs, crushed fresh cereals, a little anise herbs on the fennel vanilla custard at this time with a little honey, feedback on the cereal, still freshness, baked apple and banana fruit, final: anise, floral, vanilla and a little woody, pleasant medium finish. the next day, malt and pastry, honey, a little on the almond paste.
