SAMAROLI - Panama Single Cask No. 7 - Vintage 2000 - Limited edition of 260 copies - 45%
Born in Bologna, Italy, Silvano Samaroli is the pioneering and iconic founder of the Samaroli house, which began its journey in 1968 by selecting and bottling some of the rarest and most prestigious whiskies in the world. Initially, he was the only independent bottler outside the British Isles, showing remarkable boldness in a market dominated by the British. In the 1990s, Samaroli's expertise expanded to rum, seeking the finest casks from the best distilleries in the Caribbean, notably in Panama, before aging them in Scotland, where the temperate climate allows slow and optimal maturation. In 2008, Antonio Bleve, a passionate custodian and long-time collaborator of the house, took over while preserving the unique DNA and philosophy of Silvano Samaroli. Surrounded by a community of renowned rum and whisky experts, Antonio continues the excellence by exploring new horizons and forging privileged partnerships, ensuring a rigorous selection of exceptional casks. The Samaroli house also stands out for its innovative blending approach, combining the complexity of aged spirits with the controlled power of young rums or whiskies, often re-casked in new barrels to reveal unparalleled depth and aromatic richness, surpassing classic Single Malts. Each Samaroli bottle is a unique collector's item, distinctly bearing the year of cask filling, the bottling year, the limited release of each cask, and the individual number, guaranteeing impeccable traceability and authenticity.
This exceptional rum from Panama comes from the prestigious Single Cask No. 7. After meticulous aging of 22 years in a single cask, this exceptional rum was reduced to 45% to preserve the perfect balance between power and finesse. This very rare, numbered edition is limited to only 260 bottles, intended for true connoisseurs and collectors of exceptional spirits.
