Firkin Ten Bottle Story
We want to take you on a journey with this whisky. We’ve married single malt from the Benrinnes distillery in Aberlour, Speyside with the tangy and spicy richness of Portuguese Madeira wine in our hand-built casks.
Situated at the foot of the hill, Benrinnes distillery has had its fair share of ups and downs. But it’s survived, which is a story of tenacity & grit. And we’re all the better for it because they make some cracking whisky.
There aren’t a lot of independent bottlings of Benrinnes as most of the malt goes into Diageo’s blends. So this Firkin edition is something special.
Our custom casks use a combination of American first-fill Bourbon staves & new French Limousin oak staves with a custom char. This Double Oak cask, in combination with the spicy richness of Madeira, creates a unique flavour profile. What emerges is rich, tangy and a tad spicy… Its simply Firkin Amazing - so rich & lively.
Tasting Note

When you’ve had that kind of day, Firkin Ten is the perfect choice - bright and lively with a pantry full of kitchen spice.
It will enliven and intrigue you, and it hangs around to remind you that life is so Firkin good.
