RUM
DISTILLED IN 2003
BOTTLED IN SCOTLAND IN 2020

There was a time when the second Rome was the center of everything.

In the bosphorus in the port of Constantinople, ships from all the then known world docked.

Indeed, the Vikings going up the rivers reached it crossing what will later be called Russia. Arabs, Iberians, Italians through the Mare Nostrum.

Palaces on the sea, endless sunsets and then markets, bazaars, caravans, spices, treasures ...

A capital of an empire that could not last forever.

That point of Europe that smacks of the East, that strip of Asia that touches the West.

A seductive sensual rum like an oriental dance that leads to oblivion.

Undulating rhythm, round, opulent, “shimmering” oriental scents. Let's imagine the scent of gold and then myrrh, sesame, paprika and freshly roasted dried fruits.

In the mouth aphrodisiac encourages us to let go of restraints and inhibitions and get lost in the alley of Istanbul in the company only of ourselves.

If a man were granted the possibility of a single glimpse of the world, it is Istanbul that he should look at.

ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE

SAMAROLI
"Our philosophy is a pursuit of Quality; our Quality, which - we well know - may not coincide with the concept of Quality of others. We like the idea that our choices are as unique as you are."
WHO WE ARE
"Whether you are a beginner or an enthusiast, having a bottle of Samaroli in your hand will almost certainly open your senses, your mind and your spirit". Since 1968. One of the first independent whiskey bottlers and the first non-English and non-Scottish whiskey brand of his time. Faithful to our Italian roots, unorthodox and unconventional inspiration guides us in our relentless pursuit of perfection. We like to tear down walls and enjoy the satisfaction of seeing what's beyond them. When you drink a glass of Samaroli, savor and enjoy something different from any product of large commercial realities. Even if a bottle of Samaroli may share the name of your favorite whiskey distillery, you will be surprised. Because it will be familiar but different; it will enliven your senses with fun and wonder; will be full of character, full of opinion and often quirky - but never boring! Whether you are a beginner or an aficionado, having a bottle of Samaroli in your hand will almost certainly open your senses, mind and spirit. We like the idea that our choices are as unique as you are, and that the quality isn't perfect. Perfectly imperfect perhaps ".

OUR PHILOSOPHY ON SPIRITS
We are on a mission; a mission to find perfection in the quality of everything related to spirits. We do what we do considering different points of view, taking risks and asking ourselves questions, but in a typically Italian way everything is welcomed, tested and then celebrated. On this path we have understood that differences and uniqueness lead to the perfection of quality. And the perfect quality at its peak is unique, as are you, me and them. The products we tirelessly look for, taste and bottle are almost always different and individual in character. As such, any Samaroli bottle should almost always be tasted with some excitement and surprise; like a kid in a candy store. Get ready for a tasting adventure where quality is reinterpreted and perhaps continually questioned; for none is better than the other. But on reflection in its entirety, the sum of all these perfectly imperfect bottles creates a collection of uniquely perfect spirits (.. no alcohol).

OUR TASTING PHILOSOPHY
Just as in the world of wine there is the standard glass for tasting and other special glasses for the most popular wines, we feel that our spirits need a specific glass to enjoy the full spectrum of aromas and flavors without losing anything. Samaroli seeks the best quality in everything it does. Obviously the characteristics of the spirits can be influenced by the glass used to taste them.

The project then begins with collaborating with world-class glass designers to perfect our concept. This process led, in June 2011, to the birth of our glass. Among its main purposes is to avoid any enrichment of perfumes: our products are in fact very rich and therefore need the right width to naturally show their perfumes, without any concentration due to the glass. The introduction of an "internal step" as a facilitator helps to break down the alcohol molecules to make possible the perception of otherwise hidden details. In our opinion, it also has a very beautiful shape. Enjoy your drink!
