Fettercairn Distillery unveiled the third release in its Warehouse 2 Collection, a small batch series created to celebrate hidden gems within its 14 dunnage warehouses.

Limited to just 9,600 bottles, Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch No. 003 was distilled in 2015 and matured in a selection of handpicked ex-Bourbon barrels (57%), rum barrels (16%) and French red wine barriques (27%). This combination of casks was carefully chosen from the aging stock in Warehouse 2, where high humidity combines with the relatively cool and temperate environment to make their mark on the maturing spirit.

The whisky has been bottled at a higher strength of 50.6% ABV to highlight the heavier weighted influence of the French red wine barriques while adding depth to the final spirit and the base notes of Fettercairn’s tropical characteristics.

Fettercairn Warehouse 2, Batch No.003 will be available at an RSP of £60 in key global markets including the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France from April, extending to key Asia markets from May onwards.
