Tasting Experience
Appearance: Deep amber with warm amber‑gold highlights.
Nose: Elegant aromas of dried fruit, toasted oak, citrus peel, and honeyed malt, layered with subtle notes of Marsala‑driven dried apricot, toasted almond, and gentle spice.
Palate: Medium‑full and expressive, revealing rich flavors of caramel, vanilla, ripe stone fruit, roasted nuts, and a hint of orange zest, balanced by fortified wine complexity and soft oak influence.
Finish: Long, smooth, and refined with lingering dried fruit sweetness, spice, and a touch of fortified wine warmth that evolves gracefully.
Craftsmanship
Puni’s base spirit is crafted from malted barley and distilled in small batches using traditional methods. After primary maturation in high‑quality oak casks, this expression receives additional finishing time in Vina Dry Marsala Vergine casks, which previously held Italian fortified wine. This specialized cask influence contributes layers of dried fruit, subtle nutty complexity, and elegant acidity while maintaining malt purity and balance.
Best Enjoyed
Serve neat or with a few drops of water to unlock deeper aromatic layers and allow the fortified wine nuances to emerge. It also pairs beautifully with desserts featuring dried fruit or caramel, and savory dishes rich in umami character.
A distinctive Italian single malt that marries traditional whisky craft with fortified wine sophistication, Puni The Italian Malt Vina Dry Marsala Vergine Cask Whiskey delivers layered complexity, regional character, and refined depth on Royal Batch.
