Hello Fellow Scotch Lovers –

This weeks email features a terrific Highland whisky form a boutique and relatively unknown independent bottler from Italy: Samaroli Highland Park 22 YO 1989 Single Malt Whisky.

Born in Bologna seventy years ago, Silvano Samaroli, has been selecting and bottling the world’s greatest whiskies since 1968. At that time he was the only non-British or non-Scottish person doing this type of work. His story is based on the gamble he took, a chance taken rather recklessly but with great determination and almost maniacal perfectionism. Selecting great malts means drinking sample after sample, a thing that is anything but easy to do. Many whiskies are cask strength, so can easily exceed 50° abv and, above all, in-depth knowledge of the very complicated world of Scottish malt distilleries is indispensable.

Silvano Samaroli is now famous and esteemed and selects samples sent to him from all the most important distilleries; small bottles, each of which comes from a specific cask; Samaroli chooses the cask and has it bottled with his own labels.

Highland Park needs no introduction. This single barrel selection stimulates the senses with pear skin, honey, peanut brittle, salt and a dash of peat. Bottled at 90 proof, the whisky has a well balanced bouquet with slight peat and pleasant “medici- nal” hints to the nose and on the palate.

Mature with a pleasant after taste….this is a truly excellent whisky.

With less than 500 bottles available worldwide, Samaroli Highland Park 22 YO 1989 is an extremely rare bird indeed. But thanks to our man Nicky “The Neck”, and his connections in The Old Country, we are thrilled to be able to offer you a bottle of Samaroli Highland Park 22 YO 1989 Single Malt Whisky for $225. But act quickly, because as always…once it’s gone, its gone.

I look forward to writing to you again next week….
