Very good review score, 88 out of 100
A raw, vividly bitter whisky of barley, mustard, lime zest and wild apples, with a striking plaster-and-grass-juice character the reviewer loves.

Highland single malt Scotch whisky distillery founded by Alexander Ramsay in 1824. Whyte & Mackay owns the distillery and Fettercairn brand.
A raw, vividly bitter whisky of barley, mustard, lime zest and wild apples, with a striking plaster-and-grass-juice character the reviewer loves.
Distinctive and charming, with ripe apples, peppered walnuts, fir needles and currants, leading to a long, dry, bitter finish reminiscent of the best amaros.
