Private Casks

Our passion for excellence meets the vision of extraordinary partners.
Through our Private Cask programme, we craft bespoke limited editions for iconic establishments that share our core values of uniqueness, patience, and a deep connection to heritage and territory.

We are proud to celebrate collaborations of absolute prestige, bringing Lake Como’s whisky to landmark locations of Italian elegance:

  • Noli – Articoli per fumatori (Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Milan)
    A historic institution in the heart of Milan. For this temple of the fumo lento (slow smoke) tradition, we have curated an exclusive release of 100 individually hand-numbered and bespoke bottles, tailored for the most discerning connoisseurs.
  • Passalacqua (Lake Como)
    An icon of world-class hospitality nestled on Lake Como shores. This natural synergy has given rise to a private edition of 80 individually hand-numbered and bespoke bottles, crafted to offer guests an unforgettable sensory experience deeply rooted in the local terroir.

These projects represent far more than custom labeling: they stand as an official hallmark of mutual esteem with partners located in destinations of extraordinary historical and international significance.

BARLEY

We believe that the highest quality barley produces the highest quality whisky, only by using 100% Italian and local barley. We carefully select one spring barley to produce our premium single malt whisky, which provides the optimum level of predicted spirit yield and complex aromas.

Barley is harvested when the grain is fully ripe and mature – this is when it becomes golden in colour. Passing through traditional floor malting, carefull mashing and slow fermentation, we have the wash-still ready.

DISCONTINUOUS STILL

The use of a discontinuous still combined with a slow distillation process gives as a result a light, fruity and fragrant whisky. At TIVAN we believe that this kind of process is essential during distillation to produce a more pleasant whisky.

The batch still heats the wash with a steam bath. This allows a slow but powerful cooking for a more full-bodied spirit to reach the characteristic notes at the nose.

The product is a distillate of 80-85% abv , “head” and “tail” are cutted. Only the “heart” reduced to an alcoholic strenght of 59-60% abv, is used for maturation in casks.

MATURATION

At TIVAN we have carefully make a selection of the finest unusual casks.
We use a range of cask types as this allows flexibility to create a unique flavour to be produced.

The regional changeable climate and its own micro-climate has a unique and positive impact on maturation. We use only 250 litres casks.

The high temperatures during summer allow the spirit to extract all flavours from the oak very fast.
The cold winter days allow the spirit to push back the cask’s true flavour into the liquid.

The result is a distinctive natural colour and array of flavours.
