Description
The Vanguard collection represents Fettercairn’s exploratory and adventurous outlook on the world of whisky – a distillery of imagination and boundary-pushing inventiveness. The first release in the series.
One of two first releases in the three-part series, The Fettercairn Vanguard Collectible has undergone a long journey of maturation, which builds upon Fettercairn’s exploration of Scottish Oak. The liquid has slumbered in a combination of first fill ex-bourbon casks and in bespoke Scottish hybrid casks, before being transferred to hybrid casks made from American Oak staves and heavily toasted Scottish Oak heads. Finally it was bottled at 46.3% abv, non-chill filtered and at natural colour.
On the nose, expect warm floral honey, ripe pineapple, Alphonso mangos, subtle fresh raspberries and soft pâtisserie spices. The palate contains fresh and exotic tropical fruit notes including grilled pineapple, mangos and dried apricots.
