Celebrate this Black History Month with the first Black-owned Scotch. Yes, you read that right. Fior Scotch is a small-batch blend of Highland and Speyside scotches launched in 2023 by Retired Marine Major Eric Dominijanni.
In Scottish Gaelic, the word for “pure” is fior ghlan. Each bottle boasts a high malt/grain content of 40% and is produced and bottled in small batches in Scotland. Dominijanni isn’t your typical Marine or scotch enthusiast. He is also a classically trained chef who studied in the U.S., Thailand and Singapore and was featured on “Throwdown with Bobby Flay.” After a 20 year military career as an Assault Amphibian Officer with three tours in Iraq and two in Okinawa, he started to decant the remaining drams of good scotches into what would become his “Infinity Bottle.” Eventually, the blend became so good that he didn’t want to change it. To fulfill his dream, Dominijanni tapped industry talent James Landis, known for launching and growing brands like Hpnotiq. They were able to help recreate the taste, aroma, and smoothness of that original infinity blend, which is now Fior.
Fior Scotch is currently available in stores in New York, South Carolina, Texas and Georgia.
