FETTERCAIRN - 16 years old - 2nd Release - 46.4%
The Fettercairn Distillery is located in the village of Fettercairn in the Highlands of Scotland . The distillery was founded in 1824 by Sir Alexander Ramsay and was the second to obtain an official license. After almost completely burning down, it was rebuilt between 1887 and 1890. It then had several successive owners before being put on hold between 1926 and 1939. It then resumed its activity and doubled the number of its stills. The vast majority of Fettercairn's whiskey production is intended for blends; only 4% is sold as Single Malt. In 1971, it was bought by Tomintoul-Glenlivet Distillery Co Ltd. which was acquired two years later by Whyte and Mackay Ltd.
This 16 year old is the second version produced by the distillery, marketed in 2021. It was aged in Sherry casks : first fill Oloroso cask, ex-Oloroso cask and first fill Palo Cortado cask.
