Despite such success however, Ramsay decided to sell his estate, distillery included in 1829. The buyer was John Gladstone, father of William who would later become a four-time Prime Minister. Though very much hands-off owners, preferring instead to let their tenants operate the distillery, the Gladstones held the land for the best part of a century. They sold in 1923, to Ross & Coulter. The family’s timing was good, as the industry was in decline, suffering the effects of War, Depression and US prohibition. The new owners were forced to halt production in 1926 and Fettercairn lay dormant until 1939 when the stills were fired up by Associated Scottish Distillers.No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service.
