Samaroli – Diamond Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 2018 Edition (1993 Glen Keith, 1996 Glentauchers, Bottled in 2018, 18 Bottles, 45% ABV)

Our inspiration came from our fellow countrymen and wizards of sound: the ones who sang “Shine on you Crazy Diamond”… Just like songwriters, we strived for harmony with long, pronounced tones and touches of sharpness. A balancing act where every sensation bounces between the nose and mouth just as light is refracted across the facets of a diamond. This is a spirit that feels threatened by darkness, by oblivion. Threatened by the shadows of the night. It’s a whisky to be loved, which needs magnificence, light, the boundless scope of our imagination when we taste it.

It is no mean feat to describe a product which is so complex that over time, even in the bottle, its characteristics will undoubtedly change and refine. Fruit, hay, leather and wet grass. Honey, vanilla, heather, ripe pears and liquorice. Old fashioned elegance and rich harmony.

Bottled in Scotland in 2018. A selected Blend of 1993 Glen Keith (HHD – New American Oak) and 1996 Glentauchers (BR – New American Oak). Just 18 bottles have been produced. 45% ABV (90 Proof).
