Fettercairn 2005-2015 - 10 Year Old - Douglas McGibbon - Provenance - Single Cask 10943
Fettercairn 2005 - 2015. 10 Year Old. Bottled by Douglas McGibbon for their Provenance series. Cask number 10943. 700ml. 46%.
The Fettercairn distillery has long been in the shadow of its Whyte & Mackay stablemates Dalmore and Jura, and until very recently received little marketing attention. This situation was not helped by a failed revamp in 2009, when a much-trumpeted launch of 24-year-old, 30-year-old and 40-year-old Fettercairns fell a little flat due to a combination of disappointingly low bottling strengths, poor cask selection on the 30-year-old and some laughably over-ambitious pricing.
Happily for Fettercairn, developments since Whyte & Mackay were purchased by Emperador in 2015 have been encouraging, with a smartly-packaged, well-received new range appearing in 2018. Adventurous whisky fans, though, will find the best value for Fettercairn in cask strength, well-aged independent bottlings from Signatory, Cadenhead’s and Douglas Laing.
Founded in 1947 by Fred Douglas Laing Sr, Douglas McGibbon is a subsidiary of famous independent whisky bottlers Douglas Laing. The McGibbon's brand began as one of Laing’s proprietary blends and by the 1970s had found great success, particularly in the Far East, where McGibbon’s golf-themed ceramic decanters were so popular they won the company a Queen’s Award for Export Achievement in 1990.
Douglas Laing moved into independent bottling in 1998 and the McGibbon’s Provenance series was launched in 2000 as a budget range, releasing a great many excellent Port Ellen casks in the early Noughties. McGibbon’s Provenance was renamed Douglas Laing’s Provenance in 2015 but the McGibbon’s subsidiary survives today as the vehicle for the company’s Clan Denny range.
