- Description
- Fettercairn's 875, a 1960s Highland malt bottled at 43% for the Italian market, represents an earlier era of Scottish whisky production before standardized branding. The minimal information on this vintage bottling—with its quirky proof notation—suggests an approachable, straightforward dram reflecting the distillery's unpeated Highland character. Collectors and historians seeking period examples of Scottish malt will appreciate its rarity.
