Fettercairn is celebrating a major milestone as it has announced it will be offering its collection of rare and aged single malt Scotch whisky to the American market for the first time.
Founded in 1824 and nestled at the foot of the Cairngorm Mountain range, Fettercairn is known for its signature copper cooling ring, an industry first that creates the distillery's distinctive light, tropical-style spirits.

He said: 'This is an incredibly proud moment for our whole team, bringing 200 years of Fettercairn to the USA for the first time.
'Some of the range we are launching in the USA includes whiskies that Stewart worked on when he first joined the distillery.
'It is a privilege to see them on the shelves and in the glasses of the most discerning American whisky fans.'
Lennie added: 'The five expressions we're launching show the ways our whisky develops throughout the maturation journey, delivering an incredible depth of flavour. We're looking forward to sharing it with you.'
