Product description
Silvano Samaroli, the famous Italian bottler, became famous primarily for the whisky bearing his name.
However, he was not only involved in whisky – together with Antonio Bleve, he was also involved in selecting, maturing, blending and bottling rum. Barrels of rum were transported to Scotland, where they were poured into new barrels, subjected to additional maturation, and finally hit the market under the characteristic Samaroli logo.
In 1998, there were two rum distilleries operating in Guyana – Diamond and Uitvlugt. It has not been revealed which distillery produced the rum bottled by Silvano Samaroli in 2017. What is known is that it was the contents of a single American bourbon barrel (no. 63), that it matured in Scotland, in a climate decidedly different from the Caribbean tropics, and that its contents were enough to fill 300 individually numbered bottles.
Nose: Vanilla, sugar cane, leather, tobacco, chocolate.
