The Whisky Library's private bottle! Only 164 bottles were produced.
Welcome to a February night in one of those years when a city on water gave itself the privilege to be called Serenissima. This term collects both pride and peace without the worry of where one ends and the other begins.
We find the courage to be patient and not to expect everything to be clear immediately.This 14-year-old spirit is brimming with all manner of fragrance: vegetable and balsamic, strident and opulent at once.
Thus the nose is juicy, satiating, rich and creamy. In the mouth it is pungent, inebriating and exciting. A mix of Caucasian and Mediterranean cuisine. A clear and all-harmonious reassuring finish.
We allow this spirit one extra fraction of a second, just for us. And as we wander by ourselves along the porticoes of the mysterious side of Venice, we will not be alone. Life's love and the love of life is with us.
