Carn Mor - Celebration of the Cask - Fettercairn. This is a Japan Release only. The Fettercairn whisky distillery lies not far from the River Esk in the Eastern Highlands. Here, at the foothills of the untamed Cairngorm Mountains, Fettercain sits in its namesake town, far from any other Scotch distillery - its cooling waters trickling down from the untamed peaks. Originally sited a good two miles further up the slopes of the Cairngorms, the Fettercairn distillery was founded in 1824 by Sir Alexander Ramsay, who licensed it a year later. Carn Mor is a label produced by the Firm of Morrison and Mackay - the two families that ran the Bowmore through the 1980s and 90s.
