Description
Tasting characteristics and recommendations for the 17 Years Old Refill American Hogshead Cask Strength Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice 2007 Fettercairn
Tasting
Nose
The nose reveals zesty notes of grated lemon that evolve into ripe tropical fruits, notably mango and pineapple. Subtle hints of coconut and malty biscuits round out the bouquet, accompanied by touches of vanilla, dark honey and gentle oak.
Palate
The attack is smooth and creamy, with flavors of fresh lime, mango and ripe pineapple. The palate also unveils notes of candied lemons, zesty citrus and hazelnuts, balanced by cracked black pepper and oak. The finish is lively and fruity, with medium length.
Pairings and tasting occasions
This single malt is ideally enjoyed neat, at room temperature, or with a few drops of water to reveal its full aromatic complexity. Its tropical, spicy profile pairs perfectly with exotic fruit desserts or hard cheeses.
Mixology
Given its exceptional character—bottled at cask strength and in limited edition—we recommend enjoying this whisky without embellishment to fully appreciate all its nuances.
