SAMAROLI ARDENISTLE ed. 2023
ARDENISTLE
BLENDED MALT SCOTCH WHISKY
BOTTLED IN SCOTLAND IN 2023
We were inspired by an old blend created for Anacleto Bleve of Rome some time ago. The whole world and everyone who had the chance to know Samaroli walked through the boss' workshop.
We decided to combine an Ardmore cask with two casks of single malt distilled at Loch Lomond, specifically an Inchmurrin and an Inchfad.
These malts are young and spirited, bubbling with energy like children playing in the yard during summer, their voices echoing endlessly. They chase after a ball, shouting to claim fouls during their play.
Upon nosing, a fragrant smokiness emerges, followed by a medley of malty notes, grass, pear drops, and roasted greens. This initial impression doesn't deceive the palate upon tasting. Allow me to introduce this character: a little straightforward, yet as good as gold.
Despite its young age, the flavor lingers, gradually transforming into an elegant profile with a plethora of pungent notes such as thyme and burnt rosemary. The enchanting complexity of the whisky broadens its tempo and dimensions.
By the way, Anacleto happens to be my dad.
