FETTERCAIRN
AT BISS PR & COMMUNICATIONS
It all began with Sir Alexander Ramsey, the founder of Fettercairn, who asked himself what would happen if the illegal distillation that was common in Aberdeenshire became legal at the beginning of the 19th century. He campaigned for a license to distil Scotch whisky and was one of the first to apply for one in 1824. Fettercairn's famous stills feature a unique copper cooling ring that directs cool mountain water to the outside of the still while the whisky is distilled inside. The unique tropical house style of Fettercairn is due to this invention and is maintained to this day. Fettercairn stands for the use of local materials from the rich and fertile landscape "the foot of the mountain" around the distillery. The unicorn in the brand's logo, once the heraldic animal of the Remseys, is still the national animal of the Scots today.
