product Details

Islay Samaroli 'New Filling Malt' / Bowmore

A very young Islay malt, referred to by Samaroli as a 'New Filling Malt / British Spirit'. The New Filling Malts series was Samaroli's answer to grappa, the popularity of which had always confused him. He believed these under 3 year old single malts were a superior alternative.

Samaroli is perhaps Italy's most revered independent bottler of Scotch whisky. With an impeccable taste in single cask whiskies, and an eye for aesthetics (if not English spelling at times!), he is regarded by many as a visionary. Many of his bottles now occupy deserved sports on the pantheon of whisky greats.

Samaroli's great friend, the collector Emmanuel Dron has stated that this is more than likely a new spirit from Bowmore distillery. It was bottled in 1992 for Samaroli by R.W. Duthie, one of the last before their business relationship came to an end due to the latter's commitments to Cadenhead's.

Bottle number 64 of only 460 produced.
