About Fettercairn
Fettercairn Distillery was founded in 1824 and is located in the foothills of the Grampian Mountains in the Scottish Highlands. The distillery is renowned for its distinctive distillation technique, which involves a copper cooling ring showering water over the stills. This innovative method contributes to the characteristic tropical fruit profile of Fettercairn whisky.
