SIA Scotch Whisky Launches in Rhode Island

By April 2, 2022Rhode Island, Top News

SIA Scotch Whisky, a blend of selected whiskies from the Speyside, Highland, Lowlands and Islay regions of Scotland, is a new import to Rhode Island available via Mancini Beverage – Providence Beverage division. The multi-award-winning blend is a smooth, balanced and complex flavor profile that is approachable and affordable yet ultra-premium, created by its founder Carin Luna-Ostaseski with help from a Kickstarter funding campaign. One of the lead malts used in the blend is Teaninich, which comes from a historic distillery in the Highland region dating back over 200 years. For maturing the whisky, SIA is aged in a combination of refill American oak (bourbon) and first-fill American oak (bourbon). The first-fill casks add the vanilla sweetness to the blend and caramel notes. The refill casks gently mature the whisky allowing flavors to shine through. SIA offers citrus and spice on the nose and opens the palate with a hint of smoky vanilla, followed by a long, smooth and refreshing finish offering hints of hazelnut and toffee.
