Palazzo Parisio, in collaboration with Farsons Beverage Imports Company (FBIC) Limited, recently hosted a premium single malts tasting session at their Luna Lounge. A tasting session that will surely be remembered for the outstanding lineup of highly sought-after and hard-to-find whiskies – The Glenlivet 18YO, Isle of Jura 21YO, The Dalmore King Alex III and The Macallan Rare Cask.

The excellent 18YO single malt from The Glenlivet is a classic Speyside dram and is a winner of two golds at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, full and rich on the palate, with notes of chewy, tannic oak, Manuka honey, walnuts and orange peels.

Isle of Jura 21YO was discontinued in 2009 due to low stocks but returned in award-winning form with an explosion of soft citrus fruits, yet spicy and warm, as the lingering wood tones unfold in perfect harmony.

The Dalmore King Alex III was created by the Master Distiller at The Dalmore and is only single malt in the world to unite a unique six cask finish for one outstanding achievement. Spirits matured in ex-bourbon casks, Matusalem oloroso sherry butts, Madeira barrels, Marsala casks, Port pipes and Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques are combined in perfect harmony to create a uniquely complex, yet smooth single malt. This is the embodiment of brave creativity and a lifetime’s experience – The Dalmore King Alex III.

The Macallan Rare Cask is comprised of whiskies drawn from 16 different Sherry cask styles, chosen by Macallan's Master Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno. A high proportion of these casks are first fill, and has resulted in a rich, spicy Speyside single malt, bursting with honeyed raisin, root ginger and decadent chocolate notes.

FBIC Limited, a member of the Farsons Group, imports and distributes The Glenlivet, Isle of Jura, The Dalmore and The Macallan whiskies locally. All are available at Farsonsdirect in Mriehel www.farsonsdirect.com.
