Old Fettercairn NAS 1997 62.3% cask#2320 btl.228,248,262,270 & 307/308 OB

I won this at an auction, back in 2007, now I have five, soon to be four, versions of it, a Single cask at 62.3%, bourbon wood. My first Fettercairn, the one that started it all for me, still available at one or two german and italian online retailers I believe.

Cadenhead's

Fettercairn 10yo 1993-2003 60.7% Cadenhead's Bourbon Hogshead

I think this one is still available at some online retailers, but not the Cadenhead's online shop, so get it while its still around.

Fettercairn 13yo 1993-2007 59% Cadenhead's Bourbon Hogshead

Traditional bourbon matured cask strength single cask Fettercairn, still available at Cadenhead's online shop.

Fettercairn 16yo 1993-2009 56.8% Cadenhead's Rum Hogshead

Fettercairn single casks are rarely bottled from alternative casks, it's usually bourbon or sherried oak all the way. That makes this one a bit out of the ordinary for me. This is still available in the Cadenhead's online shop.

About myself

I have been enjoying scotch single malt whisky for some years, an interest that started around 2003. I remember that it really went through the roof after a Smokehead Islay Malt, but for a favorite distillery I had to wait until I won a 1997 Fettercairn at 62.3% Distillery Bottling at an auction back in 2007. I had tried Fettercairn before in its usual watered down state, but this was something totally different than anything else I'd ever tried. Since that day I have always been on the lookout for whiskies from this little talked about highland distillery. My ultimate goal is to try 100 different expressions distilled at Fettercairn Distillery. I do have some samples, but mostly 0.7l bottles, and will try to get photos of most of 'em up here on the site. +++ other fun stuff about this malt.
