Fettercairn has a very traditional style set-up with an open-topped mash tun, wooden washbacks and small stills. There are even soap grinders on the sides of the wash stills. These would have been used to add non-perfumed soap as a surfactant to stop the stills boiling over.
This all points to a firm, quite heavy, nutty style of spirit. This was accentuated between 1995 and 2009, when the condensers were made of stainless steel. This also added a slightly burnt, pot ale character to the new make. However, a unique cooling ring attached to the top of the swan neck, which sprays cold water down the sides of the still, aids reflux and helps the spirit lean toward a lighter style.
