About this product
Bold. Rooted. Alpine Redux of Malt Distillates
Spìga is Bordiga’s innovative malt distillate, born from fermented cereal mash—initially rye, soon to include local grains—distilled in small batches via water-bath copper stills, then matured for at least 18 months in medium-toast French oak barriques, crafted in limited edition batches.
This is not whisky—but a malt distillate reflecting Bordiga’s deep Alpine roots and agrarian heritage. A limited release, each comes with wax seal and collector’s packaging .
Why we love it:
Spìga is a bold, singular statement—a non-whisky malt spirit with real personality. Balanced and refined, it defies convention while staying true to Bordiga’s heritage. For collectors and spirits lovers seeking something rare, textured, and deeply authentic.
