Fettercairn is a distillery in Fettercairn, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, which was founded in 1824 by Sir Alexander Ramsay and was the second to receive an official distilling licence (the first went to Glenlivet). There have subsequently been many changes of ownership, and since 1973 the distillery has belonged to Whyte & Mackay.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
