PUNI Distillery produces this first Italian whisky in the "Highlands of Italy." Alba, the Gaelic name for Scotland and the Italian word for "sunrise,", is one in a series of three PUNI whiskies released in 2016. It's made from regional barley malt, malted wheat, and malted rye.
It's aged for three years Marsala casks from Sicily and then it's finished in Scottish whisky barrels sourced from Islay. PUNI Alba is bottled at 43% ABV. As of October 2020, this is available in the US.

Tasting Notes
"The nose is quite surprising, with soft peat, malty notes and a winey profile coming from its maturation, showing aromas of summer berries. Although you can say it is a young whisky, this expression is more easy-drinking than the other 3-year-old release from PUNI (Nova). Slightly smoky, mineral & earthy with licorice, pepper and roasted walnuts and dark berries. "
