Distillery Information

The Fettercairn whisky distillery lies not far from the River Esk in the Eastern Highlands. It sits in its namesake town, a name loosely based on the phrase “the foot of the mountain”, with the untamed Cairngorm Mountains overlooking the disitllery. This is good barley land with access crystal clear mountain water and today the distillery uses barley supplied by farmers within 50 miles of it, some of whom are descendants of those who would have supplied the distillery when it first opened for production. With all that local grain and crystal clear water rolling down the mountains, it doesn’t take a detective to work out why a distillery was built here. Originally sited a good two miles further up the slopes of the Cairngorms, the Fettercairn distillery was founded in 1824 by Sir Alexander Ramsay, who licensed it a year later. It was the second distillery ever to be licensed in Scotland and have been unfettered by expectation or convention ever since. In 1830, Sir Alexander sold the distillery as well as Fasque Estate to Sir John Gladstone, father of William Ewart Gladstone who would be Prime Minister on four occasions over the course of the 19th century and, during which time, he would not only legalize the selling of bottled whisky to the public, but also scrap the Malt Tax. In 1887, a fire rendered the distillery almost totally destroyed and it did not reopen until 1890.
