Italy is not the first country that comes to mind when you think of single malt whisky — and that's exactly what makes Puni so compelling. Founded in 2010 by builder Albrecht Ebensperger in Glorenza, a small village in the Italian Alps near the Austrian border, Puni became Italy's first malt whisky distillery, and the Sole expression is one of its most acclaimed releases. Distilled from a unique three-malt mash bill of malted barley, wheat, and locally-grown Alpine rye — unusual for a malt whisky — Sole is aged two years in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, then finished for two more years in Pedro Ximénez sherry butts. The nose radiates bright citrus and warm vanilla, while the palate is layered with soft oak, wild honey, heather, toasted oat, sultana, prune, fig, and baking spice, finishing with a smooth, peppery warmth. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, naturally colored. A whisky that proves great malt doesn't require a Scottish postcode.
