CORE RANGE
PUNI GOLD
age: 5 years
alcohol: 43%
casks: Ex-Bourbon
flavour profile: vanilla | mango | pepper
GOLD is the classic style of the Italian Malt Whisky. Matured exclusively in first-fill Ex-Bourbon casks, GOLD is a fragrant and elegant whisky with a bright golden colour and a timeless character. A harmonious marriage of summer fruits and sweet vanilla, completed by a beautiful touch of spicy oak.
Our signature flavour profile of fresh apples and pears paired with a spicy maltiness is always present. The nose is delicately sweet and reminiscent of candyfloss. Generous vanilla and ripening peaches emerge. Flowery aromas are intertwined with fresh and fruity notes of citrus fruits and malt. Scents of white roses, spicy oak wood a hint of pepper counterpoint the sweetness of banana, ripe mango and caramel.
PUNI SOLE
age: 4 years
alcohol: 46%
casks: Ex-Bourbon & Pedro Ximénez Sherry
flavour profile: wild honey | oak | blood orange
SOLE was matured for two years in first-fill Bourbon barrels from the United States and finished for another two years in some of the best Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks from Spain.
Sole means „sun“ in Italian and reflects two crucial stages in Sherry making. After harvesting, the grapes are dried under the hot Spanish sun, concentrating their sweetness. The wine from these grapes is then aged for many years in frequently changing oak casks. This ancient maturation method is called solera.
The taste is distinctively sweet with strong notes of honey and blood orange, that are counterpointed by creamy flavours of walnut and spicy oak.
PUNI VINA
age: 5 years
alcohol: 43%
casks: Marsala Vergine
flavour profile: sultanas | cinnamon | walnuts
PUNI VINA is our exclusive range of our whisky matured in handselected casks from Sicily which have previously held Marsala wine.
In PUNI VINA mixed aromas of fruit cake are dominant. Creamy walnuts and sweet sultanas envelop the palate and notes of plums, orange peel and cherry compote with cinnamon complement the full bodied character.
PUNI ALBA
age: 3 years
alcohol: 43%
casks: Marsala & Islay Scotch
flavour profile: dark fruit | peat | cloves
ALBA – the Italian word for dawn, as well as the Scottish Gaelic name for Scotland – is matured for three years in the finest Marsala casks from Sicily and finished in handselected casks from the Isle of Islay.
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.
This whisky is a harmonious combination of the rich & fruity flavours of Italy and the distinctive smoky character of the Scottish island.
