Samaroli 1998 Of. Cask n°2 - One of 330 - bottled 2018

The wine

A single cask Guadeloupe rum (#2) distilled in 1998 and bottled by Samaroli in 2018. Rightly considered one of the most important bottlers of his era, Silvano Samaroli is above all a spirits lover and pioneer. He began his career in the late 1960s, initially as an importer in Italy, where he distributed the Linkwood single malt and numerous blends. His bottling activities only began in the following decade with a cask strength bottling of Bruichladdich 10 Year Old 1965. At a time when single malts where far less popular than blends, Samaroli embarked on a meticulous selection and bottling project in close contact with distilleries and, more importantly, Scottish independent bottlers. A champion of single casks bottled at cask strength, he is also fascinated by ageing in bottle. A visionary in many respects, many of his bottlings, such as Bowmore Bouquet 1996 and the 1948 West Indies Rum, are today some of the most legendary spirits ever bottled. More than just a player in the bottling industry, Silvano Samaroli is one of its founding icons. A limited edition of 330 bottles.
