CELEBRATING 200 YEARS OF FETTERCAIRN

Win big - a bottle of Fettercairn 40 Year Old could be yours!

This year marks two centuries since the Fettercairn Distillery was founded, back in 1824. Sir Alexander Ramsay created one of Scotland’s first licensed distilleries when he bought a corn mill and converted it into a whisky factory as a means to make money off local barley. 

A significant and interesting history includes being owned by the family of former Prime Minister William Gladstone, boasting a singular copper cooling ring that cascades water down its stills in a now iconic image, creating a unique Scottish oak maturation project by planting its own forest, and even once being home to a distillery horse named Fergus who was often seen kicking around a football.

Such a story needs to be championed and so we’re celebrating the Highland distillery’s past, present and future through its fantastic range of single malt Scotch whisky, as well as a new competition with BIG PRIZES.

PLUS when you purchase a bottle of Fettercairn whisky there's a free gift with purchase:

A dram of Fettercairn 12 Year Old if you buy a bottle from the 12 Year Old up to the 22 Year Old. Until stocks last.

OR a dram of the NEW 16 Year Old if you buy anything from Fettercairn 28 Year Old and above. Until stocks last.

THE PRESENT

Fettercairn 16 Year Old and a glass of whisky.

Fettercairn 16 Year Old - 4th Release

For the 2023 bottling, Fettercairn selected whisky aged in a combination of first-fill bourbon casks and Port pipes and then bottled it up at 46.4% ABV.

As these are annual releases, once these editions are gone, that’s it. No more of this liquid, we’re afraid. Each year it’s replaced with the new 16yo expression, you see. Makes you think you should get a bottle while you can…

Fettercairn 50 Year Old

Yes. FIFTY YEARS. Another natural colour, non-chill-filtered expression matured for a whopping half-century! Surprisingly fresh on the palate, with notes of blackcurrant ginger, nutmeg, dried tobacco, dark cherry, roasted pineapple and a general unctuousness. After that bourbon cask maturation, this one headed to a tawny Port pipe for five years.

The Past

A bottle of Fettercairn 40 year old.

Fettercairn 40 Year Old Whisky

Fettercairn 40 Year Old takes us back through the history of the distillery in every sip. A major revamp at Fettercairn in 1991 means that much of the equipment this single malt was created with has now gone. It’s a time capsule to a different era, but remains a staggering reminder of the quality this distillery can attain with its brand of exotic fruit-laden, biscuity, aromatic spirit.

Tasting Notes

Nose:

Fragrant vanilla pod gives way to rich sultana and subtle dark chocolate. Sevilla orange zest combines with clove and toasted oak.

Palate:

Cinnamon and ginger spice complement dark forest fruits with a subtle hint of aniseed. Notes of baked apple lead to stewed raisins with a faint herbal influence. 

Finish:

Full and long with lasting summer berries and citrus.
