We first tasted the multi-award winning FIOR Blended Scotch Whisky during Westchester Magazine’s Wine & Food Festival 2026 and were immediately impressed and intrigued with the high-quality and balanced smoothness of this ultra-premium Scotch Whisky made from a perfect blend of Highland and Speyside Scotches. Veteran-owned by Eric Dominijanni, Major, USMC, Retired, we wanted to learn more about this delectable blended scotch. Tasting the product again at our home, its rich lushness and versatility tempted our palates and inspired us to create two cocktail recipes, and a culinary recipe, Luxury Experience – Roasted Oysters FIOR Style, which plays up the slight smokiness of the scotch. Whether sipped neat, with a wee bit of water to release the “dragon” or used in cocktail or culinary recipes, FIOR Blended Scotch Whisky was a winner. Cheers, it’s cocktail time!

Bottle Information: “FIOR is an ultra-premium blend of Highland and Speyside Scotches boasting a high malt to grain ratio (40%/60%). Casks are individually chosen for their unique qualities and character. FIOR has a rich maple color and an inviting nose of warm vanilla mixed with a hint of campfire smoke. The rounded palate is complete with notes of oak, chocolate, and soft spices. The luxuriously smooth finish balances comforting malt tones and warm almonds to lure you back for more. Founded by Major Eric Dominijanni USMC, Retired. 86 Proof, 43% Alcohol by Volume. Produced and Bottled in Scotland.”
$42 USD/750 ml bottle.
Tasting notes: The color is an attractive maple color. To elicit the best tasting notes, we used a Glencairn glass, which is specifically designed for whisky. Its shape helps capture the essence of the whiskey. Swirled, FIOR Blended Scotch Whisky has “long legs” and good viscosity. On the nose, there are sweet honey, vanilla, and baking spices that follow through on the palate with chocolate and slight smoky notes for a lasting finish.
Luxury Experience was “In The Kitchen and Behind The Bar®” crafting inspired cocktail and culinary recipes with FIOR Blended Scotch Whisky to show its versatility and to tempt your palate into creating your own special recipes.

For Luxury Experience – Summer Scotch we blended FIOR Blended Scotch Whisky with fresh pineapple juice, honey, Paramour Elderflower Liquor, and fresh lemon juice. We rimmed the Snifter glass with honey and a mixture of cinnamon and nutmeg to pick up the spice notes in the Scotch. We added a slice of fresh pineapple to the bottom of the Snifter glass, then poured the cocktail over the pineapple and added ice. As a finishing touch, we torched dried rosemary and extinguished it in the cocktail for a dramatic smoky presentation.

The Culinary Recipe

Method: Shuck oysters and set aside while you make the sauce.
Pro-Tip: Add a layer of Kosher salt to a baking dish, then place oysters on the salt to keep them from shifting.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then add milk mixed with the cornstarch, Stubbs Hickory Liquid Smoke, salt, and ground black pepper. Bring to boil stirring constantly to create a smooth consistency. When thickened, add one ounce of FIOR Blended Scotch Whisky, cook for one minute.
Spoon one heaping tablespoon of the sauce over each of the oysters, then lightly dust with Swiss cheese. Bake for about 10 minutes until the sauce looks golden. Present with lemon wedges.
