The Firkin Story
·
·
Mike Collings could have retired with an incredible track record in whisky. He’d made Johnnie Walker Blue Label, The Classic malts, Rare malts, Distillers Editions, Flora & Fauna series, Cardhu, Royal Lochnagar. That’s pretty good as far as CVs go.
He’s been working in whisky for 30 years. You couldn’t blame him for packing it in and putting his feet up. That would have been the sensible thing to do. But Mike is many things. Sensible isn’t one of them. He is the kind of person to stir the pot. He thinks about things differently and always asks: ‘what if …’.
So, he found himself enjoying a few drams in a Tokyo bar thinking: what if I created a whisky that was unique on the single cask single malt market.
Born in Japan, bred in Scotland and enjoyed by an increasing number of people around the globe. Firkin is a fantastic whisky. There’s no question about that. But Firkin doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Mike knows Firkin is exceptional whisky, so he doesn’t need to wrap himself in the pompous robes of pretence.
Firkin is a new take on single cask single malt, with four releases under the Firkin Label: Firkin Ten, Firkin Islay, Firkin 49 and Firkin Rare.
