Teacher Lin Yifeng’s tasting notes:
If you don’t want to drink this whiskey, it’s not an exaggeration to use it as a beautiful natural perfume to apply on your body. Peach, pear, banana, citrus, lemon, kiwi, pineapple, wine and pine nuts, how come this endless stream of perfume smells so wonderful.
Fetken, which uses a unicorn as its distillery logo, is a rare East Highland distillery. We all know that the type of still in a whiskey distillery determines the most important style of the distillery. The still in Unicorn Distillery has a It is a unique open water curtain cooling system in Scotland. It adds a sprinkler system on the top of the still neck, allowing water to pour down the entire neck of the still to cool down, causing the steam inside the still to come into contact with the cooling system. The copper wall that has passed through it condenses into a liquid state and flows back again, producing more copper dialogue, so the distilled wine will be cleaner and more refreshing. This 2008 lower-vintage Fetken clearly demonstrates the advantages of the distillery’s special distillation process, and is closer to the spirit of the distillery than older wines.
The most charming thing about whiskey is that it has youthful beauty, maturity and mature depth; American barrels have the brightness and unrestrainedness of American barrels, and European barrels have the complexity and euphemism of European barrels. This whiskey is matured in young American white oak bourbon barrels. It tastes like a youthful spirit that makes people envious. What personality does it have? It tastes youthful and innocent, but has endless layers of creativity. It tastes hearty but is so passionate that people can’t resist.
