Fettercairn is one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland. The Highland distillery was once owned by the parents of former British Prime Minister William Gladstone whose legislation played an instrumental role in the future of Scotch whisky.
Fettercairn translates as the “foot of the mountain”, thanks to its location in the foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains. This site has furnished the distillery with a natural supply of mountain water.
