The founder of FIB Whisky is Aeden Burt, who co-founded the company with Iain Mundy. Aeden's journey into the world of whisky began during his time at University in St Andrews. It was there that he discovered his passion for this exquisite spirit and became heavily involved in the University whisky club, known as the ‘St Andrews Quaich Society'. This experience ignited a deep appreciation for the art of whisky making and set him on a path to eventually establish his own whisky brand.
Aeden's love for whisky grew over the years as he explored various distilleries and tasted a wide range of expressions. He developed a keen palate and a discerning nose, allowing him to appreciate the intricate flavors and aromas that each whisky had to offer. This passion led him to dream of creating his own unique whisky brand that would embody his love for the spirit.
Teaming up with his friend Iain Mundy, who shared his enthusiasm for whisky, Aeden set out to establish FIB Whisky. Together, they embarked on a mission to create exceptional whiskies that would delight connoisseurs around the world. The name FIB Whisky is derived from the initials of their surnames, Burt and Mundy, as a personal touch that reflects their deep personal involvement in the brand.
Aeden and Iain's dedication to craftsmanship and their commitment to quality are evident in every bottle of FIB Whisky. They carefully select the finest ingredients and work closely with master distillers to create unique flavor profiles that showcase the character and complexity of each whisky. Attention to detail is a hallmark of their brand, from the sourcing of the grains to the cask selection and maturation process.
The journey of founding FIB Whisky was not without its challenges. Aeden and Iain faced numerous hurdles along the way, from securing funding to navigating the complex regulatory landscape of the whisky industry. However, their passion and determination never wavered, and they persevered to bring their vision to life.
Sadly, Aeden Burt passed away before seeing the full realization of his dream. However, his legacy lives on through FIB Whisky, a testament to his love for the spirit and his unwavering commitment to excellence. Today, FIB Whisky continues to thrive under the stewardship of Iain Mundy, who carries forward Aeden's vision and passion for creating exceptional whiskies.
