FAQs

Fettercairn is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky crafted since 1824. Our whisky is distinguished by a unique cooling ring around the stills that gently cascades mountain water over the copper, helping create a remarkably refined spirit with bright tropical fruit character and exceptional purity.

Fettercairn whiskies are known for their exceptionally refined style, offering notes of tropical fruit, citrus, vanilla and soft spice. Each expression develops its own character through time in oak casks while retaining the distillery's signature bright and elegant profile.

Store your bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Once opened, whisky can be enjoyed for many months, though the flavor may gradually evolve as more air enters the bottle.

Fettercairn can be enjoyed:

• Neat
• With a splash of still water
• Over ice
• In cocktails such as a highball

Adding a few drops of water may help reveal additional layers of aroma and flavor.
