Fettercairn Fior
Fettercairn Fior
This is perfect whisky country. Natural ingredients abound, from ice-clear Grampian mountain spring water to barley grown on the fertile soil. These are crafted and married to produce a truly distinctive single malt whisky.
Is it in recognition of this time-honoured process, and their principled origins, that they have name this expression Fettercairn Fior.
Fettercairn can trace its roots back to 1824 and its foundation by Sir Alexander Ramsay. As the owner, he didn’t last too long and this became a common theme for the distillery during its lifespan; owners arrived and departed, punctuated by periods of closure. Such trends prevented Fettercairn from establishing its own identity. Since 1971, by our reckoning, the distillery has endured at least 9 different owners. In recent times, the former parent group of Whyte & Mackay was bought and sold in a game of distillery musical chairs. Arguably, because of the attraction of the Dalmore distillery, others within the group tagged along. There have been various attempts to establish a single malt presence for Fettercairn with the latest range being launched in 2018, assisted by the re-racking of maturating stock. Whether this latest attempt gains momentum remains to be seen, but the initial signs are favourable.
