Fettercairn Single Malt Scotch Whisky announced a new U.S. expansion with the introduction of its 12-Year-Old and 16- Year-Old Single Malts.

“As Fettercairn continues to grow in the U.S., these two releases mark an important step in inviting more whisky drinkers to experience our house style,” Andrew Kullhem, President of North America for Whyte & Mackay, said in a news release. “They offer a clear expression of our tropical character — bringing together innovation, maturation, and craftsmanship in a way that invites discovery, whether you’re exploring single malt for the first time or deepening an existing appreciation.”

Rooted in more than 200 years of whisky-making tradition, Fettercairn takes a flavor-led approach that begins with its distinctive new-make spirit. By cascading cool water from the nearby Cairngorm Mountains over the stills, the copper is rapidly cooled, allowing only the lightest vapors to rise and bringing greater precision to how flavor is developed.

“That process gives us a beautifully light, tropical spirit to work with, and from there, it’s about shaping that character with care — preserving its freshness while building texture and complexity through maturation,” Distillery Manager Stewart Walker, who has spent over three decades shaping the character of Fettercairn, said. “It’s an imaginative approach to Highland Single Malt Scotch.”

About the whisky:

Fettercairn 12-Year-Old | SRP $54.99; 46% ABV; natural color and non-chill filtered: An inviting introduction to the distillery’s signature style, this expression is matured in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels for at least 12 years. 

Fettercairn 16-Year-Old | SRP $89.99; 46.4% ABV; natural color and non-chill filtered: Offering greater depth and complexity, this expression is aged for at least 16 years in a combination of first-fill and refill American oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads. 

“What’s exciting about these two expressions is how they allow the spirit to show itself in different ways,” Walker added. “It’s about revealing new dimensions of that tropical profile over time.”

Both expressions have been recognized by leading authorities, with the 12-Year-Old awarded 93 points by Wine Enthusiast and 92 points by Whisky Advocate, while the 16-Year-Old received 95 points and 93 points, respectively.

The Fettercairn 12-Year and 16-Year-Old Single Malts will be available nationwide through key retailers and leading on-premise destinations.
