Distillery profile:
The Old Fettercairn distillery (a.k.a. Fettercairn
or Nethermill) was built in 1824 by Sir Alexander
Ramsay. So, that's the meaning of the number 1824
on the bottles - it's not the distillation year...
The distillery was rebuilt between 1887 and 1890
after it was damaged by a fire. Fettercairn was
hardly the only distillery in Scotland to suffer
such a fate - in fact I imagine that the distilleries
that were not damaged or even completely destroyed
at least once in their lifetime are the proverbial
exceptions to the rule...The story of Fettercairn
is not all that different from that of other Scottish
distilleries either, in the sense that this whisky
distillery had quite a few ... More
