Launched in 1824, the Fettercairn distillery has always worked to create the purest spirit possible.
Their stills are fitted with water jackets, which promote a huge amount of reflux in the distillate.
A revitalised Fettercairn, this 12 Year Old focuses on the distillery's fruity character.
The Fettercairn 12 Year Old has been aged for 12 Years in American White Oak ex-Bourbon Casks before being bottled at 40% ABV.
Since 1824 Fettercairn have gone to extraordinary lengths to capture the purest expression of their whisky’s character.
