Italian malt whisky from PUNI, whose distillery is housed inside a frankly awesome 13 metre red brick cube! Unlike other malt whiskies, barley isn't the only cereal used here, however, as malted rye and malted wheat are both also employed. NOVA is matured in American oak casks for around three years and rested in Limousin oak barriques for a couple of weeks before bottling.
Fragrant citrus sorbet with touches of caramel, wheat, apple and vanilla.
Slightly floral and punchy with yellow pear skin and a hint of fruity rye, dried grass and pink peppercorns (could be the rye or the Limousin there).
Light, clean, cereal with subtle cinnamon and cedar.
We bought this in Italy, the first Italian whisky and the first batch. We brought it back for our monthly whisky club to try; we were all pleasantly surprised by what a nice drink it is. An easy drink and very palatable. We want to try the Alba now. Recommended.
