Fettercairn 10 años Single Malt Whisky

Fettercairn is one of Whyte & Mackay's four stylistically diverse single malt distilleries, located in the eastern Highlands. Founded in 1824, it produces a distinctive fruity spirit. The distillery features a unique still design with external cooling water applied to the neck, creating a lighter style. Equipped with a 5-ton cast iron mash tun, 11 washbacks with 60-hour fermentation, and two stills, it produces 1.5 million liters annually from 18 mashes per week. The Gladstone family owned Fettercairn from 1830 to 1923; Prime Minister William Gladstone's 1853 and 1860 tax reforms allowed duty to be paid on remaining spirit after maturation, revolutionizing the industry. The range includes 12 and 28-year-old bourbon cask-matured whiskies, plus aged expressions like a 40-year-old Palo Cortado sherry finish and a 50-year-old teak port pipe finish. In 2019, a 12-year-old PX sherry cask travel retail exclusive was released.
