DG
It develops into ginger, toffee and maybe nutmeg, and I've seen people comment that it's a bit like a Jamaica cake which I can relate to. The packaging was lovely with a fairly unusual white box, and a beautiful bottle. Onto the actual whisky!

Really smooth and beautiful colour as well. It's an East Highland distillery which is fairly unusual! They have a pretty unique and ingenious method of cooling the still with spring water, which apparently lets the lighter vapours and notes rise but the heavier ones fall back down.
Ginger
The brand was recently relaunched without too much noise being made about it and the 12 Year Old is the entry point to a full range of aged single malts. The finish is more fruit, clean almost menthol. Sweetness hits you right away at the front of your tongue and that carries through.
It's got steams running down the length of the bottle which are meant to represent the water running down the outside of the still. Fettercairn was a fairly new distillery discovery to me.
