WHISKIESSAMAROLI

We are proud that this idea born on a gloomy summer day on the ferry to Islay, has become a classic of our bottlings. We are in love with the desire to experiment, to create unique and non-replicable spirits. Two malts. Islay children, two distinct and distant generations walking together hand in hand. Behind him, the millennial Scotland, proud of its traditions and origins. In front the future, the desire to in-novate, to convey, to share experiences, passions, mistakes and successes.

We invite you to memorize every facet, every edge, every corner... This blended is linked to the previous and to the future editions but is unique. Symmetry. In fact, round and sweet notes soften the shape, the smoky notes hold up the structure. On the nose the bouquet opens musky and earthy and evolves in vanilla, mint, powder and fresh fruit.

Pungent on the palate, a balsamic opening that instantly turns to iodine and peaty tones, naturally the excess of al-cohol characterizes it and holds it together with rhythm and elegance. Powerful and explosive, it leaves us with a rich and juicy aftertaste.

A spirit that ought to be tasted freeing the mind and letting the imagination kidnap one’s self. Assembling and aging are the actions that allow us to be guided through and ac-complish the most critical task, namely, fighting time. The malts of Islay make for the rest… Elegant and powerful. Quite long-lasting, despite its young age which paws in the glass. Here is again the wish to fly that wins us over…From the moonlit coast, getting closer to home after months of sailing, recognizing the fragrances and the scents of the homeland.

The iodine component is persistent but it doesn’t confine the rhythm and the dimension of this spirit. Aftertaste is of cereal, very rich in yeast and with bread notes, salty butter and seaweed.

Balsamic perfumes of salts and minerals, pungent scents like oregano, marjoram and sesame, here we are on the deck of a night of twenty centuries and the ancient Medi-terranean as backdrop.

The second bottling of the younger brother of our Blends.An 8 year old boy very curious, undisciplined.

Very clean nose, green bouquet with hints of fresh grass and wild flowers tones. Those days where it shakes off the winter torpor and the sun’s rays caress us. Leaving it in the glass we find scents of hay and freshly ground grains.

In the mouth the aromas take shape. With a rapid pace we find sesame, mint and bergamot tones, but also more pungent scents, like anchovy paste, spicy garlic flowers and balsamic notes. A closure of ginger that leaves the tip of the tongue in shock with the desire to taste a bit more.

Power to Creativity. One of the usual classic assemblages of Samaroli. Wonderful bouquet which confirms the rich-ness in diversity as well as the harmoniously union, creat-ing completeness.

A babel tower that arches in our palate. Sensation of be-ing in a old kitchen with pots boiling and cutting boards overflowing, everything with symmetrical, rhythmic, hyp-notic precision. Salted butter aromas, yeast, spices and flowers get our attention. An infinity of tones challenge the memory and force us to look for scents and nostalgia from the past.

Help us discover this blended which combines together malts of the Speyside, Orkney Islands and Islay. Under-standing it, maybe we’ll discover a little more about our-selves too.

First experience with this Single Malt of the Islands... Here we are on the scene of a movie set: actors looking for con-centration, in the background the filmmaker immersed in a cloud in fog, with script in hand and mimicking voices. Incisive, intense and multifaceted character.Genius and aggressive we can also say a little moody.Wonderful bou-quet and a Tower of Babel that arches on the palate.

At first, film and solvent hints, it is like entering into the darkroom of a photographer. It then turns quickly to fo-cus like a close-up shot, to notes of roasted cereal, wet leather and undergrowth. The taste is pungent, hard, it tries to hide.

Gracefully salty, peated style, alcoholic with imperti-nence. An accomplished actor, of whom we discover a new talents every time we see him.

Let’s do like this, these films are yours, but I’ll keep for you.(Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, 1988 - Directed by G.Tornatore)

Am F#m D7 F#m D7 Am F#m D7 (Alabama Song, The Doors)

A Work Song that marks the timing of mowing or har-vesting. It is like a people that digs and finds in the song the strength and the path of redemption. This single malt is like a chorus in Alabama song where, Blues, Jazz, Gos-pel and religious songs merge together…

A pungent smell arises from the glass as a deep lament.Thus we smell unripe hints of yellow fruit, bread dough, wet meadow warmed by the first rays of sunshine and bark consumed by the weather. It is dry on the palate with salty, flavourful rich tones. The Aftertaste is slightly mineral.

Oh, moon of AlabamaWe now must say goodbyeWe’ve lost our good old mamaAnd must have whisky, oh, you know why

All good things come in three’s. Third bottling of this Spey-side’s cadet that immediately won us over for its resolute-ness and its elegance. Aging in new barrel enhances these characteristics giving us magnificient bottle. Despite its 22 years, it looks fresh, enveloping, fine and spicy. The bou-quet expresses flowers and fruit. Like the painter absorbed in his work, he mixes up, changes and guesses the colours that will appear on the scene.

We feel pineapple, pear and yellow flowers tones, which perpetually run over each other in the tone and in the scent.Then mimosa, almond and coffee powder come out, giv-ing rise to an intense mix that recalls in our mind the most shiny palette. Coriander and honey energetically draw the outline. An explosion that leaves us spellbound, like facing a masterpiece in a museum.

The measurement of time... Weigh, interpret, seek the time and at the end find the right one. This is what we remember and rediscover every time we make a bottling, every time we introduce you to a whisky like this one. Behind every tool that we use there is a history of centuries of discovery, mastery, intelligence and research. Here we are and here we feel like the Master that through the sundial turns the ray of light in time.

This year we present two expressions of Islay that are ex-ceptionally different, although from the same distillery. A full degree and a sherry... 1989 and 1988.

Approaching the nose to the glass we are catapulted on to a beach holding hands with the other half of our universe. Powder, iodine, peat, wood of a fire burning not far from us. Mint, freshly roasted coffee, marjoram and spices.The taste is persistent and sharp as we expected it to be. The well balanced alcohol accompanies and supports it with great pace, vivacity and elegance, with a complex structure and grace.

We will never tire of reminding you to not drink it to hast-ily… to stay on topic and to not waste time…

How intriguing, and fascinating to see the impact of the production process itself. How wonderful to discover the various states of evolution that Guyana rums go through before they reach the extensive aging phase.

Three little brothers of the late nineties and the beginning of the new millennium. More precisely 1998, 2001 and 2002, will keep us company this year. An exciting opportunity for you, our valued customers, to see just how much the prod-uct changes in the barrel. Of course, the scents and flavours are similar, since they come from the same stock, you’ll en-joy seeing how their characteristics evolve.

Here we are sampling the youngest. A pungent and unusual bouquet of thyme, juniper, tobacco, shiny leather. Perhaps reminiscent of an antique shop, in the mouth it’s agile, rac-ey and aggressive - characteristic of its youth - and sweet, buttery scents alternate with toasted wood and hints of a slightly acerbic tannin.

Clear, focused, powerful and mysterious. We might say al-most in prayer. Rich aromas of almond, sweet sticky pud-ding, biscuit, marzipan... a rum baba! Tones of citrus, fresh li-moncello on an Amalfi balcony, overlooking the gulf... Sorry, I’m getting off topic. The taste propels us forwards, into the separate pages of a book, a whole world for every molecule.

An extensive, long-lasting range of sensations, beginning with a tasty and intense minerality, exploring every descrip-tive category. Fruity: banana, pineapple; Spices: star anise, cinnamon. Floral: lime, honey. Mineral: saltiness.

Mysterious, enigmatic, indecipherable, magnetic, serious and powerful. A monk absorbed in his spiritual exercises...

The golden age of the Caribbean... the eighteenth century when the galleons from Old Europe brought adventurers, impoverished aristocrats, desperados, bandits and ben-efactors. All in search of a second chance, a new destiny.Trinidad, from Columbus onwards (the explorer who dis-covered the island on his third voyage), certainly saw it all, receiving - or in some cases stealing - something from every one of these many souls.

Mossy, earthy aromas, like a choir at the back of the nave. The flavours feel remote, preceded by an instant softness, as vanilla, licorice, nuts and dried fruits mingle with notes of fruity freshness. This is a complex rum, shall we say, a rum that teases.

A taste explosion of myrtle, juniper berry and a buttery sweetness of pollen. Flavours rounded and softened, al-most brought to life. Green tones provide structure. Remi-niscent of glowing embers of a Harbour Inn in May or June of the late 1700s...

Our annual flying visit to the French overseas territories. Known as the Island of Beautiful Waters in pre-Columbian times, this small strip of land nestled in the Atlantic first at-tracted the Spanish, the French, the English... then for a period was even promised to Sweden. This chaotic past is evident in its rums, which are less Caribbean in nature, more European. Elegant, mellow, with a blue soul, a little pained.

Like a proud lament, the bouquet permeates initially, with tones of chocolate, black cherry, almond and dried fruit. Of course pausing for a moment triggers other scents, ma-ple syrup, berries and menthol.

The enveloping palate brings hints of balsamic, but the prevailing sensation is one of tobacco, vanilla and licorice. Full of rhythm. A spirit of which we will never tire; complex and satisfying, it stimulates our imagination and provokes our curiosity.

“Oh my gosh what a rum!!! Let’s leave it like this”. That was the comment at first taste, like a child who unwraps the best gift. Approaching the nose to the new toys smell, we had an expression gratified and amazed at the same time.Shades of lacquer, paint and enamel in the opening that quickly turns into almond and marzipan aromas which ex-presses its maturity. The elegance after twenty-four years of aging is almost embarrassing.

In the mouth every hint overlaps and expresses in a circular manner, fruity flavors like banana and pineapple; spicy like star anise and cinnamon; balsamic and floral like linden and honey.

Charred coal aftertaste mixed with salty sand, transports us on a tropical beach. Exhausted from a wild night, we let the stars kidnap us.

With this bottling we get a glimpse of the goal... We are 26 years old. It is an honor to follow the evolution of the King of rum, and each year it reminds us of its character-istics. As each scar of a gladiator recollects a battlefield, so every facet that we find on the nose and palate testify the path and the fight that this noble spirit battled against the wood and the weather.

Ample and spicy bouquet that conveys the personality of Guyana’s Rum. It evolves with slow and irregular rhythms. Let it become familiar with the air... the glass... the out-side world. Dried grapes, ripe fruit, tobacco, thyme and toasted oregano. The taste is pungent and at the same time silky and balsamic. The closure is of mint and li-corice.

Dear fans, Here we are at a new bottling of our classic assembly. The different souls of the Caribbean merge together into a Jazz rhythm of the twenties. Intriguing color. Stimulating nose, with hints of mushrooms, shades of hummus undergrowth and wet foliage in a second moment stand out with shades of powder coffee cream and nutmeg.

Like the brass and strings in a New Orleans old days band, on the palate alternate spicy and marine tones, so strong that it seems to take a walk in the Mediterranean scrub. Custard, peanut butter and hazelnut.

From an island that has always been at the heart of Carib-bean legend, and a country that we’re slowly rediscover-ing. This is a simple rum with classic style. It slides into the glass almost apologetically, undetected. Ready to en-dure anything, a serious conversation or a romantic tête-à-tête. A tasting session, an evening with friends, party time. Truly a rum for any occasion. Dry, pure and clean. With tones of roasted spices, mar-zipan, dried licorice and fresh foliage... almost a scent of grass. In the mouth, it elegantly glides from one part of the palate to the next, stimulating our perceptions. A hint of white chocolate, coffee and toasted sesame. Then marzipan, orange, pistachio.Reminiscent of the elegance and culture of that Spanish gentleman who welcomed us to carefree Cuba all those years ago, who unintentionally, and without making a big deal of it, travelled across the world and through life with the lightness of a leaf in the wind. To my dear friend Chicco, teacher of life...
