Fettercairn (Gaelic: at the foot of the mountain) was one of the first distilleries to obtain an official distilling license in 1824. Since 2018, bottlings have been characterized by a welcoming fruitiness. Distillery manager Stewart Walker has been voted Distillery Manager of the Year 2021 by the Icons of Whisky. So it's high time you got to know the unicorn.
