Just arrived! In the midst of the Alps, near the Ortler mountain range lies PUNI distillery just outside the small town of Glorenza in the Venosta valley. With pure alpine water and a varying climate the “Italian Highlands” are an ideal place for creating an extraordinary whisky.
After years of contemplation and planning, builder Albrecht Ebensperger quite literally laid the foundation of the first Italian whisky distillery in 2010.
With great enthusiasm and profound passion for the scottish water of life encouraged the Ebensperger family to found PUNI distillery. In the midst of the Alps, near the Ortler mountain range, lies the distillery building, just outside the small town of Glurns in the Vinschgau valley. The 'Highlands of Italy' are an ideal place for creating an extraordinary whisky.
The growing of grain has a long tradition in the Vinschgau Valley. With its characteristic dry climate and low precipitation, rye has always been the dominant variety. Even throughout the Middle Ages the valley was renowned as an important rye-growing region. PUNI distillery uses the locally grown rye which adds distinctive flavour notes to their unique whisky recipe.
The distillery takes its name from the nearby Puni river, which flows through the Vinschgau valley. Similar to Scottish distilleries, which very often have gaelic names, PUNI is an ancient raetic name, deeply rooted in the local history.
We're happy to offer these four new whiskies.
