Fettercairn Distillery

Founded in 1824 as one of the first legal distilleries, the distillery rose from the ashes in 1890 as a phoenix and regained its former strength. Thanks to its resilience, it was able to continue bottling its whisky between 1970 and 1980 in a time of political and economic turmoil, becoming one of the few distilleries in the Highlands. Fettercairn stands out for its unique and sophisticated method of distillation: during the distillation process, the distillation flask is permanently cooled by specially designed „cooling rings“ – these copper cooling rings water the distillation flask from the outside and ensure that only the finest vapors rise to the top. This production method is still used in the Scotch sector alone by Fettercairn.

In terms of flavor, the whisky falls into the rather mild category. In addition to slightly malty and earthy notes, nutty and sweet flavors are also present, which create a memorable taste experience.
