Fettercairn was founded in 1824 and
is reputed to be the second oldest licensed
distillery in Scotland. It was rebuilt
in 1897 after a fire had destroyed the
distillery. Production was stopped in
1926 until 1939 when it was acquired by
The National Distillers of America. In
1966 the number of stills where doubled
from 2 to 4. The distillery was
then acquired by Tomintoul-Glenlivet
Distillery Co Ltd in 1971 and then Whyte
& Mackay in 1973. Only 4% of the
production is actually sold as single
malt, the remaining 96% is used in
blends such as the Whyte & Mackay blend.
On
new bottlings of Fettercairn the word "Old" has
been dropped and replaced with
"1824" the year
that the distillery was founded.
In general the house style
tends to be: Earthy, sulphury and nutty.
