Full disclosure: I was sent this sample free of charge so that I might take part in a tasting. As always I will strive to give an honest opinion on the quality of the dram and the value for money it represents. John Gladstone’s son William Gladstone, went on to become Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer and was instrumental in passing various reforms on the taxation of whisky. A nice dram that’s bigger on the palate than the nose would have you believe. It arrives with an enjoyably vibrant flourish and continues to develop and open over time. The finish when it comes, lasts pretty well. It’s more evidence that Fettercairn is capable of producing good whisky, but the price of some bottlings remains off-putting. Incidentally, for the same price you could buy two bottles of their delicious 16 year old and still have enough left over for a bottle of your favourite blend.

Situated under the Grampian foothills in the Howe of Mearns, Fettercairn town’s name is loosely based on the phrase "the foot of the mountain". Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. 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. The unicorn is said to stand for purity and strength and has been a symbol of Scotland since the reign of King Robert III. It is also used within the Ramsay clan crest, of which the founder Alexander Ramsay brought with him to the distillery.

Fettercairn Distillery was founded in 1824 by Alexander Ramsay, owner of the Fasque estate, who converted a corn mill at Nethermill into a distillery. After losing his fortune, Alexander was forced to sell the estate to the Gladstone family in 1829. Whiskybase B.V. is the Dutch private limited liability company, having its statutory seat in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and its office at Zwaanshals 530, 3035 KS Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. Despite such success however, Ramsay decided to sell his estate, distillery included in 1829. The buyer was John Gladstone, father of William who would later become a four-time Prime Minister. Though very much hands-off owners, preferring instead to let their tenants operate the distillery, the Gladstones held the land for the best part of a century. They sold in 1923, to Ross & Coulter. The family’s timing was good, as the industry was in decline, suffering the effects of War, Depression and US prohibition. The new owners were forced to halt production in 1926 and Fettercairn lay dormant until 1939 when the stills were fired up by Associated Scottish Distillers.The Fettercairn arch dominates the entrance to the town and was built to commemorate a visit by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1861. This symbol has also been used in the design and logo of Fettercairn malts. Smell: Green malt. Honey. Fresh oak. Green apples and pears. Chocolate orange. Caramel. Toffee. Cinnamon. Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products.
