200 Years Of Imagination: A Deep Dive Into Scotch Whisky's Creative Culture With Fettercairn

#wine #winetasting

At the foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains, between Aberdeen and Dundee, lies the Howe o’ the Mearns, where farmlands bristle with barley against the backdrop of heather-flecked hills. This is where Fettercairn has stood for two centuries. As this Highland distillery marks its 200th year, it is just coming of age. Though known so far to a select few, Fettercairn is loved by those in the know for its immensely complex new-make spirit and elegant whiskies. The distillery’s story is one of tradition, innovation, and characters who haven’t shied away from asking, “What if?”

In celebration of this milestone, Fettercairn is releasing a new film in partnership with Whisky Magazine, featuring renowned Scottish chef Julie Lin, regular Whisky Magazine contributors Kristiane Sherry and Abbie Moulton, and Peter Gilchrist of Tenement Kitchen. Titled 200 Years Of Imagination, the film explores Fettercairn’s legacy, evolution, and some of the stories and people behind the past two centuries of single malt Scotch whisky, delving into the spirit’s history, craftsmanship, and innovations.
