Puni is a distillery founded in 2010 in South Tyrol by the Italian alps and is named after a local river. Their two pot stills were crafted in Rothes, Scotland and the curious architecture of the distillery makes the building appear much like a giant cheese grater. Puni is guided a great deal by the whisky-making tradition out of Scotland without seeking to copy and is Italy’s first single malt whisky. The Puni Nova is one of their first two offerings (along with Puni Alba) and is matured in first fill American and European ex-bourbon casks for three years and finished for a month in virgin oak casks.
SnapShot: Whiskyfabric Whirlwind 2
This series of SnapShot posts derives from whisky exchanges with various folks who are part of what is colloquially known as the Whiskyfabric, a term encompassing the online community of whisky writers, creators, reviewers and enthusiasts on social media. Over the past couple of years, we have exchanged whiskies via mail with a number of these fine people and collected the tastings in a series of posts based on some loose collective logic. This post contains various whiskies from around the world, predominantly Canada, France and Italy. Ever wonder what it’d be like to sit down to taste with us in the moment, with all our bias and palate preferences at the ready?
