Welcome to Inbox, our weekly round up of whisky news and PR material that has found its way in to our WFE email. It was created as we cannot write full articles or do justice to every piece received. It features items from around the world of whisky and is published by us each Friday. Within Inbox we aim to write a few lines detailing each press release/piece of news/PR event that we have received and provide links, where possible, for you to find out further information.
Here is the round-up of this week's news ...
________
The east Highland distillery of Fettercairn has announced the latest edition of its annual 16 years old bottling. The Fettercairn 16 years old 2021 Edition has been created using a mix of single malt matured in first-fill and re-fill Oloroso sherry cask, plus ex-Palo Cortado sherry butts. These are then married together to create the final whisky. It follows the inaugural release last year and has been created by Gregg Glass, the Master Whisky Maker for Fettercairn. It is bottled at 46.4% ABV and is both non chill-filtered and of natural colour. The Fettercairn 16 years old 2021 Edition will be available in key European markets including Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK, plus Asia and travel retail. A bottle will cost £69/ €82.
