Distillery Bottlings for the Italian market

Old Fettercairn 8yo 40% OB for Importato Da Pilla S.P.A. Castelmaggiore

A bottle with a twist cap, italian import 75cl, from back in the 70's or 80's, slight evaporation.

Fettercairn 875 8yo 43% OB for A Orlandi 20139-Milano Via Serlio 8/2 Italy

A twist cap bottle from the 70's. The number 875 on the label stands for 8yo and 75proof. A bottle holding the content of 76cl. Also its a pure highland malt, but back then it meant the same as single.

Old Fettercairn 8yo 43% OB for Liquorama S.A.S. Di R. Orlandi & Co. S. Donato Milanese - Milano

An 8yo with golden gate similar to the one on the recent older OB bottlings. Italy did invest in some Fettercairn back in the days. Very good! Get one while they last, its not getting cheaper nor easier to find.

About myself

I have been enjoying scotch single malt whisky for some years, an interest that started around 2003. I remember that it really went through the roof after a Smokehead Islay Malt, but for a favorite distillery I had to wait until I won a 1997 Fettercairn at 62.3% Distillery Bottling at an auction back in 2007. I had tried Fettercairn before in its usual watered down state, but this was something totally different than anything else I'd ever tried. Since that day I have always been on the lookout for whiskies from this little talked about highland distillery. My ultimate goal is to try 100 different expressions distilled at Fettercairn Distillery. I do have some samples, but mostly 0.7l bottles, and will try to get photos of most of 'em up here on the site. +++ other fun stuff about this malt.
