No Age Declared Blended scotch Whisky 2016 Full proof by Masam Vol.45% Cl.70

Rare bottle of No Age Declared blended scotch whiskey, bottled in 2016 by Masam and marketed by Moon Import in 2017 only following manual corrections of the labels and abrasion of the bottom of the bottle.

These corrections, the abrasions to cover the Singles of Silvano Samaroli brand make these few first Masam bottlings unique pieces ...

No-age Declare is a harmonious blend of malt whiskeys aged 12 to over 49 years in special sherry casks and oak barrels.

The single malts used are produced exclusively by Scotland's latest artisanal distilleries.

The Blended Scotch whiskey No-age couveè 2016 was produced one year before Silvano's death.

Silvano's technique was followed, the blended made the original alcohol reduction in 12 months, as it was used in the 19th century.

A small percentage of water is added to it so that it is absorbed without shock. Every two or three months the matches are reassembled.

Currently this practice has been abandoned because it is too expensive and allows to produce very limited quantities, only 1428 bottles, this is number 1010.

For this method, Samaroli is perhaps the most revered independent Scotch whiskey bottler in Italy.

With an impeccable taste in single cask whiskeys and an eye for aesthetics (if not English spelling and geography sometimes!).

Considered by many to be a visionary, his selections are among the best whiskeys in the world.

Many of his bottles now occupy well-deserved slots in the pantheon of whiskey greats.

Samaroli was considered by many to be a visionary, his selections are among the best whiskeys and rums in the world.

Since his death in 2017, the tradition has been lovingly continued by Masam, the bottling company run by his wife, Maryse Accorsi Samaroli.

Many of his bottles now occupy well-deserved slots in the pantheon of whiskey greats.

After having ceded the reigns of the Samaroli company to Antonio Bleve in 2008, the heirs, following in the footsteps of the great Silvano, began to bottle barrels they selected with the Masam brand.

Releases like this were initially curated by the man himself and his heirs, but since his death in 2017, the tradition has been lovingly continued by Masam, the bottling company run by his wife, Maryse Accorsi Samaroli.

It will be the death of Silvano Samaroli, in 2017, and the subsequent disagreements and problems born between Bleve, Maryse and Moon import for the management of the Samaroli brand to dictate the abrasions and corrections of these bottles.

This bottle came directly from Moon import in January 2017, with supply agreement dated 06/10/2014, and is part of our personal whiskey collection.

Bottle No. 1010 of 1428.
