Product description
Firean is a blended whisky produced in small batches by Burlington Drinks Ltd. The company was founded in 1988 in London and specialises in the distribution of niche vodka, gin and whisky.
The blend’s formula remains a secret from its creator, all we know is that the malt whiskies used come from the Highlands and Speyside districts, and the grain whiskies from the Lowlands, and they were matured in bourbon barrels and reconditioned hogsheads. “Firean” translates from Gaelic to “Golden Eagle” and symbolizes the highest quality whisky. Firean Old Reserve debuted in 2015, and a year later won a gold medal at the International Spirit Challenge.
