I'm sorry about the weird picture, but my camera was off that day. This is a sherried Fettercairn, from Spanish oak. That meaning the oak comes from spain, and also the sherry I suppose. The color is nutty brown/hazel. It smells rich, minty, bayleaves, onion soup, mushrooms, earthy, vinegar, dry cider. The taste is licorice, spirity, oaky, spices, chili, ashes, sulphur, wax, gasoline, quite strong. Lets add some water. Now it turns sweeter, more mellow, peppery, ashes, ginger, phenol, still quite a beast. At least its not rubbery. The finish is long and peppery. You gotta love your heavy sherries to enjoy this one I think.
strong and bitter, a great whisky for those that can handle it: 8
Next tasting: Strathconon blend
