Product description
Silver Seal Whisky Company is an Italian company, a younger sibling of Sestante, founded in 1979, predominantly known for their selections and bottlings of fine Scotch whisky. Its headquarters are in the town of Formigine, a few miles south of Modena. In over 4 decades of their activity, they have won the hearts of whisky lovers, with the Silver Seal whiskies being extremely popular with connoisseurs. Whiskies bottled by Silver Seal back in the 1980s and 1990s are most ardently sought after at auctions, reaching astronomical prices. Another line of activity, dynamically developing in the last years, is selection and bottling of fine rums. Here, the situation is very much like that in whisky. The rum market is showing a lot of similarities to that of whisky, and the Silver Seal specialists feel those trends like nobody else.
