We love it when we get to try a new whisky with a unique back story…
Fior Blended Scotch Whisky was created by US Marine Corps veteran, Major Eric Dominijanni, a Scotch whisky aficionado that routinely poured his dregs into an Infinity Bottle which developed into a blend that Major Eric grew to love. Here’s a bit more of the Fior story in Major Eric’s own words:
“When the Infinity Bottle started to run low, I realized that once it was gone, I would have to start all over. I contacted a long time friend who works in the liquor industry to see if he could help me. He was able to help me recreate the taste, aroma, and smoothness of that original infinity blend. It was spot on. After investing so much of myself into the creation of this Scotch, I am proud to be a part of this historic brand.”
And here’s some information about the actual whisky:
Fior is a super-premium, hand crafted blend of Highland and Speyside Scotches. The color is a deep, rich maple and the nose is inviting with rich vanilla and just a hint of campfire smoke.
The rounded palate is complete with notes of oak, chocolate, and soft spices while a luxuriously smooth, long finish balances comforting malt tones with warm salted almonds for a taste that lures you back for more.
Each bottle boasts a high malt/grain content of 40%. Fior is produced and bottled in small batches in Scotland. Each batch is expertly blended by David Hallgarten who selects the finest casks of scotch whisky, for their unique qualities and character.
Between the story and the shiny pretty packaging, we were more than a little bit excited to give Fior a try. Click play on the following video to hear our many thoughts:
