Onto the actual whisky! Best drunk straight, no need for any water Something a bit more unusual than a Glen whatever.

It's got steams running down the length of the bottle which are meant to represent the water running down the outside of the still. The finish is more fruit, clean almost menthol. The packaging was lovely with a fairly unusual white box, and a beautiful bottle.

Would recommend Fettercairn 12 YO single malt to anyone who would like to try a whisky they don't usually drink. There is also vanilla and coffee. The spirit is aged in American White Oak ex-bourbon barrels, and is light in colour. Fettercairn was a fairly new distillery discovery to me.

The whole product feels a bit of affordable luxury and would be a cracking Father's Day or Christmas gift for a whisky lover. 5 stars!

The 12 YO is a fantastic whisky, and given how much I'm enjoying this wonderful single malt I look forward to tasting more of the range. The packaging, bottle and liquid itself are all excellent and the price on Amazon was brilliant!

It develops into ginger, toffee and maybe nutmeg, and I've seen people comment that it's a bit like a Jamaica cake which I can relate to. Really smooth and beautiful colour as well. It's an East Highland distillery which is fairly unusual! Very 'fruity' on the nose and palate, oranges and satsumas as well as interesting tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango are more evident.

The brand was recently relaunched without too much noise being made about it and the 12 Year Old is the entry point to a full range of aged single malts. Sweetness hits you right away at the front of your tongue and that carries through. They have a pretty unique and ingenious method of cooling the still with spring water, which apparently lets the lighter vapours and notes rise but the heavier ones fall back down.
