DIG A BIT DEEPER:
Puni ALBA, a funky little Italian malt which lit the world on fire last year. Taking advantage of their location, this drop spent most of its life in Sicilian Marsala barrels but then to really push the limit they headed toward Scotland, to a little distillery known as Laphroaig (heard of it?). With barrels in hand, the headed back to Italy and finished their sweet Marsala aged malt in rich Laphroaig barrels (and you can taste it).
our tasting notes
Nose
Ripe plum and herbal rye notes. Slightly salty with some rich dried fruits dominating the glass.
Taste
Surprisingly rich, dark jam is the first note, but the Laphroaig barrels is immediately obvious (but not dominant). Floral wheat notes toward the finish.
Finish
Sweet vanilla, plum jam and touches of that Laphroaig herbal complexity keep with dram exciting.
about
The Puni distillery (Italy's first) takes its name from the nearby Puni river, which flows through the Vinschgau valley. Similar to Scottish distilleries, which very often have gaelic names, Puni is an ancient raetic name, deeply rooted in the local history. Alba - the Italian word for dawn, as well as the Scottish Gaelic name for Scotland, is matured for three years in the finest Marsala casks from Sicilly and finished in hand selected casks from the Isle of Islay.

Puni Nero 3 Year Old Italian Malt Whisky (700ml)
Puni Distillery
I have had some cracking samples from my whiskyloot subscription but I doubt I have been as excited about what is coming until this was announced - the Deanston 15 Organic a 🏴 Highlands (near Stirling) single malt with a genuine 'organic' statement;
AGE: 📍15
ABV: 📍46.3% (the sample label is wrong)
NCF: 📍yes indeed
NAC:📍yes indeed
V4M:📍well priced if found
Full disclosure. I love Deanston. Official. Independent. It doesn't matter, these days they nail everything. I have never tried this, or even seen one before in the wild.
Nose: so highland, honey'd with heather and slight vanilla'd summer fruits. A clean cereal note and a touch of decent Australian/NZ Sauvignon Blanc
Palate: oily but still that Highland creaminess, so crisp again with green apple and nashi pear and oozing honey, such that you can almost feel it slowly dripping down you teeth.
Finish: crisp again. Woody with lovely oak notes, gentle spice white peper heat and honey'd sweetness to balance that out. Long. I am sold. Sign me up.
That is a solid 9.25⭐'s out of 10 for me and has me now hunting one down to see how a full 70cls opens over the journey.
Recently received a 3 month subscription to Whisky Loot from my girlfriend. Not only was it an awesome suprise but i get another each month for the next two months. It's the gift that keeps on giving!
The Whisky itself was great, i enjoyed all 3 samples and it's enough to make your Friday night a really good one without any of the hassle in the morning.
The option to buy the full sized bottles at a discount rate is great and I'll be placing an order today for the Balvenie Triple Cask.
This is a great gift for any whisky drinker even if they're not a serious collector.
Chivas Royal Salute 21 Year Old Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Fantastic gift idea, something different. Also love the packaging, notes and prompt delivery each month of interesting whiskeys. Also like the option to take a break and opt out when you need.
Brilliant service, excellent quality whiskys. Cant recommend this service more highly to anyone looking to get a unique and diverse experience of top shelf whiskys.
