About Firkin Ten

We want to take you on a journey with Firkin Ten. We've married whisky from the Linkwood distillery in Speyside with the tangy and spicy richness of Portuguese Madeira wine. Sounds crazy, but in our double wood hand-built casks; it’s just crazy enough to work.

Our custom single cask use a combination of American first-fill Bourbon staves and 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, lively and a tad spicy.
