About Fettercairn
A quiet Aberdeenshire distillery founded in 1824 under the Cairn o' Mount, notable for its unusual cooling rings that spray cold water down the outside of the stills during distillation — a technique found nowhere else in Scotch whisky. Recent rebrand has pushed the single malt upmarket.
