Port Ellen 23-year-old (D.1975, B.1998) Samaroli / 45%/ 0.7l

For every whisky lover, Samaroli is synonymous with the highest quality and beauty.

Silvano Samaroli began his career in the whisky market in 1968 and immediately focused on single cask editions. In 2008, Samaroli left the management of the company in the hands of Antonio Bleve, but he himself played an active role until his death in February 2017. The Samaroli brand remains one of the aces of the market, highly valued by collectors, and the barrels are currently selected by Antonio Bleve and Francesco Saverio Binetti.
