About this product
A Rare Island Masterpiece.
Sardinia isn’t just about sun, sea, and rich wines – it’s also home to a pioneering whisky journey. Silvio Carta Whisky from Sardinia is the island’s trailblazing single malt, crafted with extraordinary care and a deep respect for both tradition and innovation. Double distilled and aged in old Sardinian chestnut barrels, unique to the distillery, it carries the signature character of the island, subtly influenced by the proximity of the sea. Small-batch and hand-selected, this whisky stands as one of the rarest Italian single malts, offering collectors and connoisseurs in Ireland a truly unique experience.
The whisky is distilled from carefully chosen barley and nurtured in these distinctive casks, allowing the maritime climate to impart gentle saline and mineral nuances, complementing the natural sweetness and spice from the chestnut wood. Each bottle tells a story of experimentation and dedication, combining the rugged terroir of Sardinia with Silvio Carta’s visionary craftsmanship. Its aroma, palate, and finish are a reflection of the island’s landscape: wild, aromatic, and unforgettable.
Why we love it:
We love this whisky for its audacity and originality. The double distillation ensures clarity and smoothness, while the chestnut barrels and maritime influence give it a character that’s unmistakably Sardinian. Each sip feels like a journey along the rugged coast, with honeyed malt, gentle spice, and subtle hints of sea air. In Ireland, where collectors and enthusiasts value rarity and story, this whisky stands out as a conversation starter and a taste adventure.
