Fettercairn Distillery, founded in 1824, was one of the very first licensed distilleries in Scotland. Located in a small village in Aberdeenshire under the Grampian foothills in the Howe of Mearns, this distillery got a new lease of life in the 1950s and is now creating exciting new expressions using their stocks of well-aged whiskies.
This elegant and contemplative cocktail is perfect for refined sipping as an aperitif or digestif on any occasion. Based on a classic Old Fashioned recipe but without the mixer, it uses ingredients that gently enhance the tropical fruit flavour of the whisky. Serve in your most elegant Martini glass, well-chilled.
