Fettercairn 28 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

Refined by Time and Copper
Fettercairn 28 Year Old is a rare Highland single malt that exemplifies the distillery’s unique approach to whisky making. Distilled through Fettercairn’s signature copper cooling ring system—which drenches the stills with water for an ultra-pure cut—this whisky matures for nearly three decades in American white oak ex-bourbon casks. The result is a refined expression marked by tropical fruit depth, rich oak influence, and an unmistakable Highland elegance.
