- Since 2019
The story
According to industry sources, Dream Whisky originated as an entrepreneurial project from 2019, founded by partners Marco Maltagliati and Federico Mazzieri. The label quickly developed thematic collections (e.g. American Oak, Atelier, Creative Blend) and collaborations with industry initiatives such as the Jerry Thomas Project.
Production philosophy
The brand's official communication emphasizes the "aesthetics of taste": the pursuit of sensory beauty, attention to image and the design of the consumption experience. The approach combines selection of distillates, blending and label design to deliver products conceived as sensory objects.
Territory
Italy (registered office reported in Parma; commercial activities and an operational/club point 'Dreamhouse' reported in the Milan area).
Production method
Dream primarily operates as an independent bottler: it selects and purchases distillates produced by third parties (in some cases from foreign distilleries), carries out blends and single-cask bottlings, and creates thematic blends. It has released bottlings in collaboration with the Jerry Thomas Project and has used distillates from producers such as Death's Door for some assemblies.
Distillation
Dream does not claim a unique in-house distillation: the portfolio is based on distillates purchased/provided by third parties and subsequently blended and bottled by the brand; operational techniques therefore include blending, vatting and single-cask bottlings rather than a specific proprietary distillation method.
Ageing
Aging and finishing in casks (use of ex-bourbon, ex-rum and different types of wood), with blends obtained from multiple casks and differentiated finishes depending on the bottling.
