About Fettercairn

Fettercairn believe in a few deeply held principles. It uses pure mountain water, unique stills with cooling rings allowing for more distillation, and approaching tradition methods differently when it comes to casking. Fettercairn translates to ‘foot of the mountain’ and the distillery is surrounded by beautiful forests and glens at the foot of the Cairngorms.

History

Sir Alexander Ramsay, the founder of the Fettercairn Distillery, was one of the first Scottish landowners who campaigned to license Scotch Whisky distillation. In 1824, he applied for a license, and the Fettercairn distillery was opened. He recruited illegal whisky makers to be his first stillmen. From its very beginnings, Fettercairn’s been doing things a little differently in the pursuit of great whisky.
