Fettercairn
launches a creative small batch series
which pays homage the maturing stock in
its 14 dunnage warehouses and launches
with Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch
No.001.
 Fettercairn
distillery today launched The Warehouse
Collection, the first ever
collection of small batch single malt
whiskies from the Highland distillery.
The Warehouse Collection aims to pay
homage to the 14 dunnage warehouses
where Fettercairn single malt whisky
comes of age, and no doubt we will find a
few treasures as each batch in the
collection is rolled out going forward.
The Warehouse Collection launches with
Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch No.001,
which has been crafted using a creative
mix of five different cask styles. Hand
selected first fill American and
European oak casks; filled with spirit
that flowed from the Fettercairn stills
in 2010 and has since been maturing in
Fettercairn Warehouse 2. These casks
each impart their own influence on the
spirit and include unseasoned casks and
sherry seasoned butts from Vasyma,
sherry barrels from Tevasa, ex-bourbon
barrels and Port Pipes.
Non-chill filtered and bottled at a
flavoursome 49.7% ABV, there are only
3,600 bottles available in this
Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch No.001.
Whisky Maker, Gregg Glass said: "For
some time, I’ve wanted to share the
secrets and treasures which lie within
our unique dunnage warehouses at
Fettercairn. We've had the opportunity
to create something quite special with
this new collection that celebrates the
treasure trove of beautiful casks we
have at Fettercairn. I’m looking forward
to whisky drinkers discovering these for
themselves. The collection means we can
also continue to build on the long
history of experimentation and
exploration at Fettercairn, which sits
firmly at the heart of the series,
whilst also starting to reveal what
might come next from the distillery."
I haven't had the chance to taste the
Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch No.001 yet
so I cant comment on its quality but I
will certainly update you when I get the
chance to taste it meanwhile the
official tasting note is below to give
you and idea of what you will find in
the bottle.
With a RRP of £55 Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch No.001 is initially
available from today from
The Whisky Shop followed by wider UK
distribution from mid-March from specialist online whisky
retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange and Master of Malt

Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch No.001 Review

Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Light, elegant and truly refined as
enticing floral notes of fleshy honey
dew melon, Doyenne du Comice pear, cape
gooseberries and freshly baked brioche
covered in Scottish heather honey. In
the background ginger spice, creamy
caramel, Madagascan vanilla pod and
poached peaches.
Taste:
The alluring aromas are immediately
transferred onto the palate as creamy
coffee latte, tangy grapefruit segments,
spicy apple tart laced with cinnamon and
Turkish Delight take centre stage.
However with a small edition of cool
still water this helps to release
another layer of exuberance with warming
flavours of Devonshire fudge, vanilla
cake, maple syrup and fresh clementines.
A compelling whisky of genuine charm.
