Fettercairn Distillery
The Scottish whisky distillery is located at the foot of the mountain, which is reflected in the name, because translated into Gaelic this means 'fettercairn'. It was founded there in 1824 by Sir Alexander Ramsay, before a fateful fire almost completely destroyed it a good 60 years later. But this did not get them down and the distillery was painstakingly rebuilt. Just three years later, whisky could be produced regularly again. This production phase did not last long, however, because things got quiet around the brand, so production had to be stopped in 1926. It was only after the sale to Associated Scottish Distillers LTd. in 1939 that the distillery resumed production. Production was ramped up again, but things initially remained very quiet around the company.
It was only between 1960 and 1970 that the distillery experienced a strong boom again; the number of stills even had to be increased.
In August 2018, the whisky company underwent a makeover and brought some special vintages from the core range onto the market. In addition to the relatively young 12-year-old, the release included an 18-, a 40- and a 50-year-old.
12 Year Old PX Cask Edition Highland Single Malt Whisky
After long-term maturation in American oak barrels, an additional finish of 18-24 months in former Pedro Ximenez sherry barrels takes place before bottling. These not only give the whisky its relatively dark color, but also provide sweet sherry notes.
On the nose, there are initially only clear orange notes accompanied by a pleasant sweetness. On the palate, the 12YO has a very soft, almost buttery texture. Here too, it is the aroma of orange that characterizes the aroma. Vanilla and notes of other tropical fruits slowly join in. The finish is relatively short but again characterized by intense orange and spicy sherry notes, so that it stays in our memory for a while.

Fettercairn Warehouse 2 Batch No. 002 2021 Highland Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 48.5% Fettercairn and the unicorn The whisky distillery is based in the town of the same name, Fettercairn, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was founded in 1824 by Sir Alexander Ramsay and was the second distillery in Scotland to receive an official distillery license. The distillery can be found at the foot of the Grampian Mountains in the Scottish Highlands, which is reflected in the name of the brand. Translated from Gaelic, Fettercairn means something like 'at the foot of the mountain' and not, as one might think from the company logo, something to do with a unicorn. The brand's logo is thanks to its founder; the unicorn has always been Sir Alexander Ramsay's private coat of arms. ...To be continued... After the very successful warehouse bottlings that have already been released, the second small batch bottling is now underway. The Fettercairn distillery is now launching Warehouse 2 Batch No. 002, which again comes from warehouse No. 2. The barrels selected for this limited edition this time are 29 first-fill rye and first-fill bourbon barrels. These have been stored in the warehouse since 2009 and are now being bottled. The golden-colored whisky initially impresses with tasting notes of sweet barley, honey, various mild spices as well as tropical fruit notes and vanilla. On the palate, the whisky offers a soft flavor with a wide range of aromas. Tropical and citrus fruits are dominant here, accompanied by spicy notes such as cinnamon and vanilla as well as sweet maple syrup. Cocoa bean aroma is also recognizable.

Fettercairn 22 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 47% Fettercairn 22 Year Old Single Malt Whisky The Fettercairn 22 Year Old matured exclusively in traditional bourbon barrels from America, so that the soft aromas for which Fettercairn is known combine wonderfully. It is not only a welcome aged product for whisky beginners, but also convinces the fine palates of those whisky lovers who like a harmonious play of aromas. Aromas At first, the 22-year-old whisky impresses with the aroma of dried fruit, sweet and sour green apple and notes of freshly baked cake. This first impression is accompanied in the background by cedar wood and hay. A more distinct spice aroma develops on the palate, reminiscent of gingerbread and Christmas in general. Fruity notes of banana, orange, mango and pineapple quickly lighten up these rather heavy spice notes and give it a certain freshness.

Fettercairn 28 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 42% Fettercairn Based in the eastern Highlands of Scotland, whisky has been produced under an official license at the eponymous location since 1824. Like most distilleries that have existed for such a long time, Fettercairn has a very turbulent history, in which the distillery had to be rebuilt after a fire, had to be temporarily closed after a low point in 1926 and a new high in the mid-1960s, as well as perseverance during a new economic crisis in the 1980s. Fettercairn 28 Year Old Single Malt Whisky The 28 year old single malt is matured exclusively in American bourbon barrels. The aroma offers sweet and fruity notes at the same time. Fruity parts are reminiscent of pineapple and melon, the sweetness is reminiscent of a syrup. These aromas are accompanied by light ginger spice and licorice notes. On the palate, a full, very well-balanced whisky develops, the aroma of which is now characterized by citrus notes and a hint of spicy black pepper. Aromas of roasted nuts, apricots and a hint of vanilla linger in the background. The finish is rather medium-long and is reminiscent of notes of coffee and sweet balsamic vinegar.
