Why Did It Take 200 Years for This Cult Scotch to Hit the US?
Briefly

Fettercairn, a Scottish distillery established in the 19th century, is finally introducing its ultra-aged single malt whiskies to the U.S. market. The brand’s distinctive tropical notes result from innovative cooling techniques used in distillation. Founded by Sir Alexander Ramsay, Fettercairn has a legacy tied to the legalization of Scotch whisky distillation. Its new portfolio includes various aged expressions, with unique barrel maturation contributing to its celebrated flavor, including a highly praised highball featuring a 12-year expression. This marks a pivotal moment in bringing historic whisky to American consumers.
"We've been planning this release for a long time."
"What you end up with is a surprisingly tropical fruit note to the new-make spirit, which remains through decades of barrel maturation."
