Samaroli 1994 North British Single Grain Scotch Whisky Cask #80 (2024)

$295.00

Wheat is the timeless wheel that has turned the steps of humanity from the dawn of history to the present moment. Around the fields of golden grain, the first settlements took root, and battles—both ancient and modern—were waged. We cherish the tales of simple folk, like my father, who journeyed hundreds of miles to gather this precious harvest in its season, when the entire year’s labour and sweat hung in the balance. From lives like his, stories like ours are born, for we are the living history—no one should feel left out or unrecognised, whether they have devoured countless books or speak with few words.

And now, we present an evolution of wheat—an opportunity to savour today the essence of a grain that sprouted and was toasted thirty years ago. In its calcareous and stately presence, we discover floral undertones, notes of dried fruits, sultanas, apricots, and a whisper of honeyed sweetness. Grainy and malty hints blend with biscuit notes, touches of coconut and almond, creating a tropical and nutty embrace, a subtle hint of delicate smoke. History is us… This plate of wheat.

I learned to dream when childhood was already far behind me…

About brand
Founded in 1968 in Rome, Italy, Samaroli was an importer for the first decade of its existence. During the 1980s Samaroli began to source more individual releases of whisky directly from Cadenhead's and as the years went by most of the bottlings were at cask strength. Silvan Samaroli ran his independent bottling business for decades before being taken over by Antonio Bleve in 2008, however, Silvan maintained an active role in the company up until his death in February 2017. Today, Samaroli bottlings are still hugely sought after by whisky enthusiasts worldwide. “Whether you’re a beginner or an aficionado, having a bottle of Samaroli in your hand will almost certainly open your senses, mind and spirit.” Samaroli is one of the earliest independent bottlers and the most famous and influential Italian importers of their time.
