Product description
Moon Import was founded in 1980 in Genoa and quickly became famous as an importer and distributor of high-quality wines and spirits.
It also had its own line of whiskies, as highly regarded as the selection of the legendary Silvano Samaroli († 2017). Surprisingly, in 2015 Pepi Mongiardino, the owner of the company, issued a statement that "after 35 years Moon Import is closing down". The Arran presented here is a whisky distilled in 1995, the year the distillery began distilling, and aged for about 9 years. Bottled at 46% abv in 2004 as part of the Paris Collecton in an edition of 980 bottles.
