This Finn Thomson Fettercairn 15 Year Old Single Malt Whisky, 2008 Cask #801946 is one of 293 Bottles from a Single Cask.

Growing up in Banchory, Finn has fond memories of traversing the iconic Cairn o Mount on visits down to Scotland’s central belt. An old military road used by the Jacobites, it leads down to the quiet village of Fettercairn and the distillery hiding within.

Fettercairn has one of the most unique distillation styles in Scotland. They cool the head of the still during distillation to increase the reflux of the heavier components of the spirit. The result is a tropical, fruity style of whisky that would almost be more suited to the Caribbean than the foothills of the Grampian mountains.

About the Producer

Finn’s 6x great-grandfather James Thomson, born in 1713, was farming by day and, as dusk falls, distilling a secret that will one day become his family’s legacy: aqua vitae, the water of life.

Representing the ninth generation, Finn Thomson is a young man who has inherited his family’s 300-year-old passion for whisky.

Thirsty to pair passion with knowledge, Finn sought opportunities to learn every aspect of the bottler’s craft: spending time with Miguel Torres in Spain and Casa Pedro Domecq in Mexico, as well as tutelage from some of Britain’s best-known Scotch whisky merchants.

Fuelled by the natural instinct for creativity and entrepreneurship that has pulsed through Thomson veins for centuries, Finn is now embarking on his biggest adventure yet. With a reverence for those who have walked before him, Finn Thomson is bringing new life to the family business. The story continues for the next generations.
