Puni Sole Italian Whisky Batch No.01 700mL
Puni Sole Italian Whisky 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. Note this is a Batch No 01 bottle and box.
"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 Sole Italian Whisky 700mL
Created from a blend of three malted grains: a barley base enriched with the addition of locally grown rye and wheat. This differs from previous Puni releases being matured for two years in first-fill Bourbon barrels, then finished for another two years in x Pedro Ximénez Sherry casks from Spain. "Sole" means "sun" in Italian, referencing the Sherry production process whereby PX grapes are dried under the sun, concentrating their sugars. The wine from these grapes is then barrel aged for many years via a method known as a Solera.
Tasting note: Brilliant gold. Dry and spicy, then almost floral-soft, the aromas hinting of dates, prunes, drinking chocolate and pepper with emerging fruitiness. Very attractive. Follows through with vibrant, semi-sweet, flavours offering suggestions of dates and bitter dark chocolate framed by warming spice. Concludes sweet but balanced with the PX input more salient through the final stages.
