Very good review score, 88 out of 100
A raw, vividly bitter whisky of barley, mustard, lime zest and wild apples, with a striking plaster-and-grass-juice character the reviewer loves.

Fettercairn 17-year-old 2007 The Gauger's Reserve is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky. For a novice drinker, that generally means a whisky made from malted barley at one distillery, with a style that often balances fruit, malt, and oak rather than heavy smoke.
