【Product Story】
From the heart of Silvio Carta distillery in Sardinia emerges the Whisky From Sardinia Single Malt, distilled twice in a copper still crafted according to Silvio Carta’s specifications in the province of Siena in 1985. The maturation takes place in ultra-centenary barrels made of Sardinian chestnut, exclusively employed for aging Vernaccia di Oristano wine dating back to 1852, imparting a uniqueness to the whisky in the global landscape of distilled beverages. Our distillery enjoys a privileged geographical location, just a few kilometers from the sea, endowing Silvio Carta Whisky with a complex character enriched by salty and subtly marine notes.
In June 2013, the Silvio Carta company embarked on its inaugural venture into the world of distilled spirits with whisky. Although the exploration was momentarily halted in early 2014 due to commitments associated with the construction of a new facility dedicated to beverages, the enthusiasm was never set aside. In January 2020, with the completion of necessary preparations and transformations, we commenced the production of our Whisky. Using two-row barley and subjecting it to double distillation, our whisky proudly matures in centuries-old chestnut barrels, previously exclusively employed for Vernaccia di Oristano wine. It is with a sense of pride and dedication that we present this spirit, a genuine masterpiece unique in the world, born from our passion and unwavering commitment.
【Tasting Notes】
Aroma: Notes of candied citrus, pepper, caramel, dried fruit, malt, ginger, and subtle saline nuances harmoniously intertwine. Additionally, intense spicy tones of cloves, plum jam, and hints of cherry liqueur and raisins emerge.
Taste: Creamy, soft, and enveloping, faithfully reproducing all the olfactory notes with delightful hints of honey. The finish, decidedly long and clean, brings back distinctive spicy sensations and notes of dried fruit.
