Barr's Irn-Bru 1901 carbonated soft drink

Irn-Bru 1901 is a premium, full-sugar version of the iconic Scottish soft drink, recreatied from a historic recipe dating back over a century. Known widely as 'Scotland's other national drink,' it is famous for its unique ginger and citrus flavor profile and its vibrant orange color. This particular '1901' edition was launched to provide fans with a version of the drink that avoids modern artificial sweeteners, adhering instead to the high-sugar content and botanical notes found in original archives.

The brand is manufactured and owned by A.G. Barr plc, a company that remains deeply rooted in its Scottish heritage. While the brand has global recognition and is exported to various international markets, the primary production occurs at their facility in Cumbernauld, Scotland. As of 2025 and looking toward 2026, the brand remains under the independent ownership of the Barr family-founded PLC, maintaining its status as one of the few independent soft drink giants in a market often dominated by global conglomerates.
