Alba Italian Single Malt Whisky

ALBA – the Italian word for dawn – is matured for three years in the finest Marsala casks from Sicily and finished in handselected ex-peated casks.

PUNI was established in the Vinschgau valley, the ‘Highlands of Italy’ in 2010. The distillery takes its name from the Puni river, which flows through the valley. Much like Scottish distilleries, which very often have gaelic names, PUNI is an ancient raetic name, deeply rooting the distillery in local history. The growing of grain has a long tradition in the Vinschgau Valley, predominantly rye, and PUNI only uses locally grown rye in its mashbill

ALBA is a winter whisky. The nose and taste has lovely aromas of dark fruit, plum jam and christmas spices. The first impression is very warm and engaging with the fruity flavours slowly giving way to aromas of pepper, nuts and herbs. All of these are complemented by a gentle mist of peat that engulfs the winey notes, but never becomes too overpowering. 95 Points Whisky Bible
