Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают насыщенный, маслянистый виски с выраженным влиянием дуба, сухофруктами и специями, часто с длинным финишем. Многие отмечают высокую цену как препятствие для покупки.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах последовательно упоминается сильное влияние дуба: его называют доминирующим в финише, «кожаным», «пыльным и сушащим», но при этом часто округлым и не горьким. Нос описывают как фруктовый и пряный — сухофрукты, чернослив, изюм, тёмный шоколад, корица, иногда тропические фрукты и орехи. Вкус характеризуют как маслянистый и полнотелый, с сухофруктами, специями (белый перец, гвоздика, имбирь), кожаным дубом и ореховым солодом; несколько отзывов отмечают, что сладость приглушена ради фруктового дистиллята. Финиш в основном описывают как средний или длинный, сухой, с дубовыми танинами, какао, сухофруктами и специями; в одном отзыве финиш назван коротким.
Мнения о балансе расходятся: часть отзывов считает виски сложным и «особенным», другие — что он не сбалансирован и чрезмерно перчёный или дубовый. Несколько отзывов прямо указывают на высокую цену как причину отказа от покупки, при этом некоторые называют его лучшим в линейке 16–18–22 или сравнивают с Springbank 15. Отдельно упоминается шотландский дуб как источник характерных нот, а также 15-месячная выдержка в финишной бочке.

Difficult. Oily. Spicy. Fierce Oak. But without that sour off-note that the 16 had (at least Release 2 & 3). Super bottling by Fettercairn.

I had it in a blind tasting. While still fruity on the nose, the palate and finish become increasingly dominated by wood. A solid dram, but for the price, there are much better whiskies.

15 months finish
S 7.5 Colour: Australian Muscat. Legs: Thin but slow. 1920 Blender’s glass. Proudly Scottish, this expression has proven that Scottish oak can have its own place in whisky maturation. Massive wood extraction that mere 15 months finishing works like 3+ yrs finish in a Cream Sherry European oak cask. Fascinating and almost magnificent, wish the price could be more approachable.

| Нос | 86 | Nose-cooling. Raisins and prunes all over the place. The dried dates and jujubes. 60% chocolate. Hazelnut and walnut paste. Poached pears. Dried Hōjicha. A little vanilla/toffee fudge sweetness, alongside subtle tannin and oak spices lurking at the background. Earthy white flowers as it breathes. Water brings out a lot more of that malty and fruity characters that I’m familiar with Fettercairn. Apple/lemon tart. |
| Вкус | 86 | Spicy landing and mouth-drying. Full-bodied. Leathery oak. Nutty malt. The sweetness is tuned down for a lot to let the fruity distillate to shine. Still, dried dates, prunes, but now also overripe mangos and yellow pears. Water brings out musty grapes, black pepper, cloves, and ginger. |
| Финиш | 87 | Mid, moderately dry finish. Slightly earthy. Here the bready/cereal side of the distillate finally have a chance to reveal itself. Dried jujubes. Oak tannin is apparent but not disruptive. |

| Финиш | 89 | Tropical fruit, but dried. Dried fruit. Raisins. Dried plums. Cocoa. Dark chocolate. Dark chocolate. A pinch of spice. Cinnamon. Spices. Long finish. |
Tried it during a Fettercairn tasting at a store in Turnhout, Belgium. The owner was kind enough to share this with out, despite it not being available yet. The entire group agreed it was a big hit. From the nose inviting you in to the taste and finish blasting you with fruits, wood and a wisp of smoke and ash. This is truly something special you need to try.

| Нос | 81 | Perhaps due to the ambassador's tales of the Scottish forests, but I swear I could smell a bit of moist, dark and gnarled woods. It smells proud and Scottish. A mixture of salty and sweet. But remarkably subtle when compared to the taste and finish. |
| Вкус | 87 | Very complex. A new flavor to me. Tastes like the moisture in the air of a dark and dense forest, you can taste a bit of the woody, nutty flavors. Rather fruity as well and some hints of crushed macadamia nuts and the powder of a cappucino. |
| Финиш | 91 | Very surprising finish when preluded by these smells and tastes. It's a bit spicy, herbal and aromatic. There's hints of fruitiness, but not at all so much as in the taste. It more reminds me of wood and ash. Amazing flavorful combination. |
Good stuff. Sure, there’s a lot of oak, but it never comes across as overly heavy or tannic – it’s always rounded and very fragrant. Maybe that’s a Scottish oak thing. I’d imagine that a virgin American oak finish would be rather spicier.
Imagine someone crushing black pepper corns, putting them on a freshly cut Passionfruit and then hitting you in the face with it. Repeatedly. Is this a balanced Whisky? Not at all. It’s not trying to be. There’s mature spirit battling against a dusty, drying and spicy oak, very powerful, very dynamic. This is very much about the cask, but the spirit character is there, always fighting back. This is a Whisky to end the night, or shift over to Islay as it will easily overpower the palate at times. Not for everyone but a true tropic thunderstorm if you like contrast in your dram.
An absolute magnificent nose featuring a spiciness, that classic warehouse fragrance from old oak wood containing the liquid gold. A warm apple cake, coming fresh out of the oven, roasted hazelnuts garnished with a chutney of mangos and ripe papaya. Absolutely beautiful. On the palate thick and with an oily texture offering vanilla custard, herbal hay notes, sweetened cocktail fruits, milk chocolate and and dark cacao nibs. The wood influence is present but in the best possible way. Numb cheeks showing the impression of the Scottish oak. The finish lingers with notes of juicy grapes, forest honey, gentle oak wood and a mild sherry.
https://whiskylovingpianist.wordpress.com/2022/11/18/the-whisky-show-2022-silly-hour Finished in Scottish oak. Now, where have I come across that before? Greg Glass~Whisky Works~Whyte & Mackay! C: The Scottish oak influence is clear, having earned my reference bar from that aforementioned Whisky Works release – King of Trees [WLP]. This is the neatest/tidiest Fettercairn I’ve come across whilst pertaining to a bitter [pancake]-sweet raisiny leathery Asian spice profile. But before you get too excited, it’s £175. Just sayin’.

nose: on oak wood, spices, on fresh grain, vanilla floral feel back stuffy: sweetness on the palate, on sweet sherry fruits, velvety, some black fruits, cooking spices, on cloves return of cooked vanilla and honey final: very woody, slightly humid, floral, vanilla and fruity sherry a typical Scottish whisky without too much singularity but with soft flavors, and very woody.

Unfortunately, don't knock me off my feet now. Especially not for the price. It is quite round and the nose is pleasant, but the taste is too peppery.

So it's good. I simply attribute the tart notes to the Scottish oak. I like that. But it's not enough to buy a bottle. I think there could have been more in there.
if you forget the price... it's brutal

Much more interesting and 'fun' then the 16yo, but the jump in price is just too much... Seems sherry matured, but i could be wrong... A seriously 'dark' vibe to it, a heavy hitter, some cigar, lots of wood, 'dry' on the nose Soft, sweet initially on the tastebuds but then the power comes in. Strong stuff, very nice and interesting, but too steep a price... Finish is nice but not for beginners :p My favourite from the 16 - 18 - 22 line up. Could be an 87 score if it was better priced...
very grassy, sour and spicy

| Нос | 87 | Intense, fruity nose. Raspberries, apple and raisin. |
| Вкус | 88 | Red berries, slightly dry. Draws fluid well from the mouth. Then the alcoholic spiciness slowly sets in. Apple, pear, light oak and spice. |
| Финиш | 86 | Oak is very dominant. Plus a little cocoa. Unfortunately the finish is quite short. |
For me, the Scottish Oak is like Glenfiddich Winterstorm; if you know what was done with the whisky, you take something like that no purchase, expected more

It's really good, especially the finish is impressive. I really like the oak spice here – not the slightest bit bitter, but it creates a long, slightly sweet finish with tobacco notes. Not quite as convincing on the palate, lacking a bit of power. I find similarities with Springbank 15, although the Fettercairn can't quite keep up in terms of intensity. Unfortunately, the price is too high for a purchase decision.
