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.

这威士忌挺特别的,新鲜橙子的味道很鲜活,像刚榨的橙汁,带点青草气,还有点胡椒的刺激感。余味像蔓越莓汁,但整体很顺滑,像奶油加黑麦面包的香气?尾韵有点尖锐,不过整体挺有活力的,像喝一杯加了橙子的茶,挺吸引人的。

Took a sip and got this odd combo of pumpernickel and carbon paper upfront, but then it’s all creamy with a watermelon twist. There’s a vibrancy here – violet sweets and freshly squeezed oranges mingling, while cranberries give it this funnily fruity tang. The aftertaste is strange but intriguing, tart and sweet, with a hint of white wine sharpness. Very interesting, though that acrid edge lingers a bit. Not what I expected, but in a good way 🥃

Just had a dram that’s proper intriguing. Starts with this graphite oil smokiness, like a campfire in a pencil factory, then a real vibrancy kicks in – zesty orange peel and pepper dancing about. There’s a white wine lightness to it, almost creamy, but don’t be fooled – it’s got bite. The funnily fruity mix of grenadine and cranberry juice pops up mid-palate, strange as that sounds, then it’s back to earthy notes, like someone rubbed carbon paper on pumpernickel. Finishes with a sharp acrid kick and a whisper of violet sweets. Very interesting stuff – malt-forward but never boring. Made me think of breakfast: toast, marmalade, and a splash of something stronger. 🥃

Blimey, this one’s a proper oddball! Starts off all zesty like freshly squeezed oranges, then bam—violet sweets and a whiff of white wine. Creamy too, but then there’s this funny fruity kick, almost like watermelon and cranberry juice had a party. Bit of pepper and something grassier lingers, medium long finish. Very interesting, almost like sipping tea with a twist of graphite? Funnily enough, it works 😅

Ooh, this one’s a bit of a wild ride, isn’t it? First sniff hits you with that odd pencil shaving vibe—like someone left carbon paper in the glass 😅—then it mellows into something almost smoky but not in a heavy way. The first sip’s got this zingy orange burst, fresh and sharp, like someone squeezed a bag of Jaffas straight in. Then it twists into something darker—tea leaves and a hint of that earthy pumpernickel crust you get from good sourdough. The cranberry tang sneaks in halfway through, tart and a bit like juice you’d spill on a picnic blanket. Mid-palate’s where it gets playful—violet sweets and watermelon rind, all fizzy and bright, like a summer lolly shop exploded. The finish lingers just long enough, leaving a whisper of graphite and a cheeky little tea aftertaste that makes you want another sip straight away. Very interesting indeed.
