As Stefano Ricci explains, “Single malt whisky has always been a distinctive element and thanks to the collaboration with Arran, through La Maison du Whisky, we have decided to offer a clientele of experts a legitimate and rare product. The Man who loves to drink quality drinks thus has a further point of reference in the Stefano Ricci offering.” This commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of the 1996 release.

For over two decades, this single malt has quietly matured, its journey beginning on the Isle of Arran, a small corner of Scotland renowned for its purity and dedication to heritage. Every detail of its creation has been carefully considered, beginning with the water sourced from a lake three kilometres from the distillery.
On its journey, the water is naturally filtered through granite rocks and enriched with oxygen as it flows over seven cascading waterfalls. Combined with premium barley, this pristine water becomes the foundation of a whisky unlike any other.

The Stefano Ricci 1996 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is aged in Spanish oak puncheon barrels—distinct 500-litre casks chosen for their ability to nurture a more refined, delicate spirit. This choice of barrel exemplifies a commitment to tradition while enhancing the whisky’s character with nuanced layers of flavour. The result is a whisky imbued with the very essence of its origins: a vibrant backbone cloaked in silky spices, rich complexity, and noble patterns reminiscent of damask fabric.

“Whisky,” as Ricci notes, “lives in a world of its own, the result of a long tradition and fascinating workmanship. In modern history, the affirmation of whisky bars in the twentieth century has developed the contexts of exclusive clubs and noble houses where this drink was previously kept. In the best cards of the world, its presence is synonymous with refinement and competence.”

The Stefano Ricci 1996 Single Malt epitomizes this tradition, offering an extraordinary product that appeals to both connoisseurs and collectors alike.
The collaboration between Stefano Ricci and La Maison du Whisky elevates this release to a new level of sophistication.

As Ricci proudly asserts, “We always move within LIMITED edition, never exceeding a thousand copies worldwide for both Wines and Fine Spirits. It is not our core business, but a complement that makes the difference.”

This limited release adds to the allure of the 1996 Single Malt, making it even more desirable for those who understand the true value of rarity and exclusivity.
