Fettercairn 22 Year Old

Product Information

Fettercairn is a pure spirit which is crafted by its unique stills and forged through temperate maturation. Within its process, the distillery uses a unique irrigator ring that surrounds the stills which drenches the still to deliver only the purest spirit. In recent years, they have been experimenting with flavours from wood charring, with whisky aged in barrels made from locally sourced oaks.

First established in 1824, Fettercairn whisky was just the second legal distillery to open following the Excise Act of 1823, and it’s seen its own fair share of troubles and obstacles over the years too, namely a fire which meant that the distillery had to be rebuilt and the subsequent financial woes.

In 1830, Sir Alexander sold the distillery as well as Fasque Estate to Sir John Gladstone, father of William Ewart Gladstone who would be Prime Minister on four occasions over the course of the 19th century and, during which time, he would not only legalize the selling of bottled whisky to the public, but also scrap the Malt Tax. Despite such success however, Ramsay decided to sell his estate, distillery included in 1829. The buyer was John Gladstone, father of William who would later become a four-time Prime Minister. Though very much hands-off owners, preferring instead to let their tenants operate the distillery, the Gladstones held the land for the best part of a century. They sold in 1923, to Ross & Coulter. The family’s timing was good, as the industry was in decline, suffering the effects of War, Depression and US prohibition. The new owners were forced to halt production in 1926 and Fettercairn lay dormant until 1939 when the stills were fired up by Associated Scottish Distillers.
