PUNI Italian Malt Whisky ALBA - Marsala & Ex-Islay Cask
PUNI Italian Malt Whisky ALBA is from PUNI — Italy’s first and only whisky producer, founded in 2010 in South Tyrol. The ALBA expression is dual-cask finished, drawing on Marsala wine casks (from Sicily) and ex-Islay peated whisky casks for a layered combination of Italian fortified wine character and Scottish peat smoke.
The South Tyrol “Highlands of Italy” has a long tradition of growing grain, with rye dominant in the local agriculture due to the dry climate and low precipitation. PUNI uses this locally grown rye in a triple-grain mash bill alongside malted barley and wheat — a grain choice that gives the underlying spirit a distinctly Italian character. The ALBA cask combination brings two Italian classics (Marsala) and Scottish whisky tradition (Islay) together in finishing.
