European Whiskies
Europe is not only home to traditional Scotch and Irish whiskies, but also a melting pot of innovation, cultures, and unique histories. Whisky production was long the preserve of a few corners of the world.
Today, however, it has spread like wildfire, and even in Europe, whisky is no longer synonymous with Scotland alone.
From the hills of Brittany to the forests of Scandinavia, from German breweries to emerging English distilleries, the variety is extraordinary.

Italy – Elegance and Artisanal Vision
Italy has also made a significant entrance into the world of European whisky, with several distilleries that combine artisanal precision and local identity:
Puni Distillery – The Pride of South Tyrol
Founded in 2010 in Val Venosta, it is the first Italian whisky distillery. They produce single malts matured in ex-sherry, bourbon, and Marsala casks.
The Puni Alba, Sole, and Vina editions offer complex profiles: notes of dried fruit, spices, chocolate, and wood. The style is modern but with Nordic influences, partly due to the collaboration with Scottish master blenders.
Florentis Distillery – From the heart of Tuscany
A more recent company, based near Florence, produces whiskies with Tuscan grains and aged in local wine barrels (such as Chianti and Vin Santo).
Their whiskies express Mediterranean warmth and aromatic finesse, with notes of honey, ripe fruit, and toasted wood. Perfect for those seeking a regional sensory experience.
Poli Distillerie – Venetian tradition at the service of whisky
Known for its grappa, Poli has also launched a small-batch artisanal whisky production.
The Poli Single Malt is matured in French oak and ex-wine casks and reflects the elegant and aromatic spirit of the Venetian tradition.
Bottles are often numbered and highly sought-after.
