About
As of 2026, it's 125 years old.
Irn-Bru is a bright orange Scottish soda with a flavor no one can describe and a reputation for being the one place on Earth where a local drink outsells Coca-Cola. The Scots take genuine national pride in this, as they should.
First made in 1901, its cheeky, irreverent ads and closely guarded secret recipe (and that practically nuclear shade of orange) made it a point of patriotic identity — Scotland's unofficial other national drink.
Sweet, mysterious, and aggressively orange, Irn-Bru is the soda an entire country chose over the global giant, just to make a point.
